Tickets for the 2026 CrossFit Games are hitting the market in stages, with divisional event tickets already available and the main Games public sale two days away. The general public can begin purchasing seats for the Individual and Team CrossFit Games at SAP Center in San Jose on Tuesday, March 24 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Before that window opens, presales are scheduled for Thursday, March 19 at 1:00 p.m. ET for both Open participants and CrossFit coaching credential holders. Affiliate owners also have presale access, though a separate time window for that group has not been specified. If you signed up for the 2026 CrossFit Open, that registration qualifies you for the March 19 presale.

The divisional events moved faster. CrossFit announced on March 17 that spectator tickets for the Masters CrossFit Games by Legends, Teenage CrossFit Games by PIT, and Adaptive CrossFit Games by WheelWOD were immediately available. All three divisional events are hosted at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, with the Masters running July 21-23 and both the Teenage and Adaptive events scheduled July 24-26. Ticket options for each divisional event include three-day event passes and single-day admission.

The main Individual and Team CrossFit Games run July 24-26 at SAP Center, marking the sport's return to California for what CrossFit is billing as a 20th anniversary celebration. The full week in San Jose stacks all four competitions across six consecutive days, with the McEnery Convention Center and SAP Center running simultaneously on July 24-26.

Purchasing through the official channel requires some setup. Tickets are distributed through the San Jose Sharks Ticketmaster site, and every ticket holder, not just the buyer, must create a Ticketmaster account to access their barcode. Each ticket generates a scannable barcode that can be added to a smartphone wallet. One firm note from CrossFit's guidance: a screenshot of the barcode will not work at the gate. The recommended method is downloading the Sharks + SAP Center mobile app; those who can't access the app can retrieve tickets through their Ticketmaster account on a mobile browser. CrossFit has also published a short video tutorial walking through the process.

Beyond the competition floor, CrossFit's event pages note that fans at the San Jose venues can access vendor and sponsor experiences, a livestream viewing area, and a spectator workout space.

The 2026 Games week gives anyone willing to book the full stretch in San Jose a rare chance to watch Masters, Teenage, Adaptive, and elite open-division athletes compete in the same city within the same seven-day window.
