ROGUE Invitational: How to Watch, Prize Structure, Competitors, and More

The 2020 Rogue Invitational — one of the most anticipated CrossFit Sanctionals® competitions of the year — takes place on Saturday, June 13th and Sunday, June 14th and will be held entirely online. That means all athletes will compete from their own chosen location.

The change to an online format isn’t stopping some of the biggest names in the sport to show up including “The Fittest Man On Earth” Mat Fraser and “The Fittest Woman On Earth” Tia-Clair Toomey.

Here is everything you need to know.

How To Watch

The Rogue Invitational will be live streamed from 10am-5pm EST both days (June 13th and 14th) from two different locations:

• RogueFitness.com 
• Rogue Fitness YouTube channel

Each of the 37 competing athlete’s streams will be coordinated by the Rogue team for a singular live broadcast. Both days of the broadcast will have a 30-minute edition of the “Iron Game” studio show which will feature highlights, interviews, and analysis of the events and competing athletes.
