Artistic Gymnastics World Championships 17-25 Oct 2026

The Artistic Gymnastics World Championships is a gymnastics competition showcasing the world’s greatest gymnasts performing in a variety of disciplines. With both male and female gymnasts competing at the same event, spectators can marvel at the incredible skill, balance, agility, and strength required across a broad range of apparatus.

In the early 1900s, the first edition of the championships was held in - though it was not until 1934 that women’s events were held alongside men’s - and each edition has been organised by the sport's global governing body, the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG). The competition is held every year except Olympic years. Although historically the most successful nations are the former Soviet Union, China, and Japan, the event has seen over 40 different countries earn medals and is an excellent event at which to see some serious talents.

The 2026 event will be held in Rotterdam.
