The World Athletics Indoor Tour is soon returning, and it’s set to be the biggest edition yet, nearly 80 meetings packed into a busy few months of competition around the globe.
With the first Gold-level event fast approaching, the full calendar has now been confirmed. Events will take place in 24 countries across Asia, Europe, and North America, with the key scoring disciplines also revealed.
What began as a modest seven-meeting series in 2020 has ballooned into a 77-event juggernaut for the 2025/26 season. The action begins on December 13th in Bucharest, Romania (Challenger level), and runs through to March 26th in Uppsala, Sweden (Silver level).
The top tier Gold circuit features eight events, starting with the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston on January 24th and finishing in Torun, Poland, on February 22nd, just weeks before the same venue hosts the 2026 World Athletics Indoor Championships from March 20th to 22nd.
