World Athletics Ultimate Championships 2026 live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch?
The inaugural edition will kick off on September 11
The inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championships will bring a unique format to Budapest, with the world’s best athletes competing across three action-packed evenings from September 11-13. The event features 28 disciplines and a $10 million prize purse, with each event winner earning $150,000.
The men’s 100m is among the marquee events, with world champion Oblique Seville headlining a loaded field featuring Kenny Bednarek, Letsile Tebogo, Christian Coleman and Trayvon Bromell. Noah Lyles, the world leader at 9.79 seconds this season, will miss the competition due to injury.
The men’s pole vault could also provide a major spectacle, with world and Olympic champion Mondo Duplantis facing Diamond League champion Emmanouil Karalis. Duplantis has raised his world record to 6.31m this year, although a recent leg issue adds some uncertainty ahead of the competition.
Another major battle awaits in the women’s 800m, where Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson returns to face breakout star Audrey Werro and Femke Broeders-Bol. Werro has gone unbeaten outdoors this season and set a world-leading 1:53.70, setting up one of the most anticipated clashes of the championship.
