The 2026 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Kuyavian-Pomeranian, Poland, take place this weekend, from Friday March 20 to Sunday March 22. They are held only one year after the Indoor Championships of Nanjing, China (21-23 March 2025), which had been delayed since 2020 due to Covid.
Normally, the World Athletics Indoor Championships are held every two years, so the next editions will be in 2028 and 2030, in Bhubaneswar, India, and Astana, Kazakhstan. They are alternated with the outdoors competition, which last year was in Tokyo, and next year will be held in Beijing, in September 2027.
In Poland 2026 we will see superstars like Armand ‘Mondo’ Duplantis, Keely Hodgkinson or Kishane Thompson, 674 athletes from 118 federations and 26 track and field events. Here’s the full schedule:
