What is the Diamond League format for 2027?
The Diamond League is the premier global one-day meeting series in athletics. Launched in 2010, it brings together elite athletes across track and field disciplines at major international venues.
The series offers a season-long competition outside the Olympic Games and World Athletics Championships, with athletes competing for points and a place in the final.
The 2027 series will feature 32 disciplines across the men’s and women’s programmes. Athletes will earn points at the 14 qualifying meetings, with the most successful competitors progressing to the season ending final.
The final follows a winner-takes-all format in each discipline, with the champions receiving the prestigious Diamond Trophy.
The competition has built a distinguished history, with past champions including sprinting greats Usain Bolt and Allyson Felix, Jamaican star Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, middle distance runner Faith Kipyegon and pole vault world record holder Mondo Duplantis.
The 2026 final in Brussels also produced 32 champions, including first time title winners such as Oblique Seville in the men’s 100m and Cameron Myers in the men’s 1500m. These results underline how the series brings together established champions and emerging talent, with each discipline offering its own title race.
