The 2024 Arnold Sports Festival is slated for the weekend of Feb. 29 through March 3, 2024, at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, OH. Seven IFBB Pro League divisions will host pre-judging and/or final rounds to determine the 2024 champions for one of bodybuilding’s most prestigious events. The 2024 editions of the Arnold Strongman and Strongwoman Classic competitions will also take place.
At the time of this article’s publication, tickets to the Expo, where several pre-judging rounds for bodybuilding will be held, and limited tickets to the Friday and Saturday evening bodybuilding finals in the Battelle Grand ballroom are available on the Arnold Sports website. However, strength sports fans not in Columbus can still see all the action live for free.
The Arnold Classic livestream presented by Bucked Up will be available for free by registering on the Arnold Sports website.
