The CrossFit Games team revealed the In-Person Qualifying Events schedule for the 2025 season.
Remind me: In late November, the Games team laid out an overview of the 2025 season structure, which included some significant changes to the qualifying path for the CrossFit Games.
- The 2025 Semifinals include two parallel paths to qualify for the CrossFit Games.
The first path is through a “virtual in-affiliate Semifinal,” which, for individuals, will be the weekend of May 1-4.
The second pathway is through the In-Person Qualifying Events, which CrossFit described as “multiple premier events around the world” that will give athletes “more places and more time to qualify.”
One big thing: There will be nine In-Person Qualifying Events in 2025, beginning the first weekend in April, and there will be at least one event in every “Competitive Region” from 2024.

The bottom line: Athletes will have multiple routes and multiple opportunities to qualify for the 2025 CrossFit Games, both at virtual, in-affiliate Semifinals and In-Person Qualifying Events, in a system that most closely resembles a mixture of the 2019, 2020, and 2021 Games seasons.
- Oh, and don’t make any plans for the weekend of May 29-June 1, as four out of the nine events are happening that weekend.
