For three weeks, from May 17 to June 2, the best individual athletes and teams from each region of the world will meet in live semifinals to determine who will advance to the final stage of the 2024 CrossFit Games season.
CrossFit has partnered with seven event organizers to host semifinal events in North America East, North America West, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and Oceania so you can see the LIVE action.
The semifinals are more than just a CrossFit Games qualifier. They represent one of the few times each year that, as a global CrossFit community, we can come together not only to cheer on our favorite athletes and represent our affiliates, but also to witness some of the most exciting moments in our sport.
The atmosphere at the semi-finals is indescribable and will leave you inspired and motivated as you tackle your own training next year. If you haven’t yet made a trip to a semi-final event, this is your year.
We’ve put together a quick start guide to help you plan your trip to a CrossFit semi-final event.

Community events
Several semi-final events are hosting community events to give spectators a chance to take part in the competitive fun while on site.

The 2024 semi-finals would not be possible without the hundreds of hardworking people who volunteer for the live competitions. See below for a list of events still accepting volunteers.

Introduction to a local affiliate
If you want to get a workout in while watching a semi-final, there’s no better way than going to a local affiliate.
The CrossFit Affiliate Map makes it easy to find local affiliates near your hotel or event venue by zooming in or out on the map. You can also use the search bar to find a specific affiliate in your area.
We recommend calling or emailing the box office ahead of time to make sure they accept tickets or to make a reservation. Many others will be traveling to the same city, so making sure you have a place in class will be key.
