How to Watch the 2022 CrossFit Semifinals

June 9, 2022 by Alex Polish, NASM-CNC, ACE-CPT, SITA-SIFS

The wide world of CrossFit is getting amped up for the 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games. The 10-event Semifinals kick off in three different countries on May 20. Across four weeks and six continents, the Semifinals will determine which athletes — in the Women’s, Men’s, and Team divisions — will descend on Madison, WI for the Games in August. On May 16, CrossFit HQ started releasing the livestream information for how fans can watch the Semifinals events.

Since the start of the COVID pandemic, CrossFit athletes around the world have become accustomed to recording their workouts absent other competitors and an audience. In 2021, five of the 10 Semifinals were held entirely online. But in 2022, spectators are back. Tickets are being sold for fans to watch athletes live and in-person across the world.

Last Chance for the Games

For athletes who just barely miss out on their ticket to the Games, the Last-Chance Qualifier will be held the week of June 29 – July 1, 2022.

In North America and Europe, the sixth and eighth place athletes in each Semifinal event will be able to participate in the Last-Chance Qualifier. For Oceania, the fourth to sixth place athletes will be eligible, and for Africa, the second to fouth place finishers will be contenders. In Asia and South America, these spots will be for the third to fifth place athletes.

The top two women and the top two men to rise to the top in this Qualifier will secure the last spots to the 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games. They’ll be held in Madison, WI on Aug. 3-7.
