The score submission window for 26.3 has closed, and with it, the 2026 CrossFit Open is officially done. The only question left for thousands of athletes is the same one bouncing around gyms and group chats right now: did I finish in the top 25%?

Here are the exact cutline places, by division, that determine who advances to the 2026 CrossFit Quarterfinals.

In the individual division, men needed to finish at or ahead of 31,779th place globally; women needed 26,490th or better. The age group cutlines narrow considerably from there. In the 35-39 division, the cutline sits at 7,293 for men and 5,668 for women. The 40-44 bracket lands at 5,493 and 4,316, respectively. Athletes competing in 45-49 needed to place within 3,673 (men) or 2,812 (women). The 50-54 cutlines are 2,122 and 1,513. In 55-59, men needed 1,349th or better; women, 1,036th. The 60-64 division cut at 706 for men and 581 for women. In 65-69, the numbers drop to 332 and 308. The 70-plus division carries an even cutline of 200 for both men and women.

The teenage divisions are the tightest fields in the entire Open. The 14-15 age group cut at 269 for men and 262 for women. The 16-17 division cut at 299 and 277.

Every athlete who landed at or above those placements in their respective division advances. For those hovering right at the bubble, now is the time to verify final scores on the leaderboard before the next phase begins.

Quarterfinal workouts will be announced Monday, March 23, on a special episode of the Sport of Fitness podcast. The competition window opens Thursday, March 26, and athletes will have until March 30 to complete the workouts. Both the individual and age group Quarterfinals operate on that same timeline.
