The 2026 Diamond League is the seventeenth season of the annual series of outdoor track and field meetings, organised by World Athletics. The competition was a revision to the top level athletics series since Diamond League foundation in 2010. The number of Diamond Discipline events was 32. Each meeting hosted a number of Diamond Discipline events and some of these events would not be broadcast. Events losing Diamond Discipline status would feature on the World Athletics Continental Tour, the second tier of track and field meetings.

Starting in 2025, each meeting nominated 4 events (2 male and 2 female) to be Diamond+ Disciplines, these events will have increased levels of prize money; this will mean at regular meetings a doubling of the 1st place prize from $10,000 to $20,000 and at the Diamond League Finals an increase to $50,000.[1] In 2026, the number of Diamond+ Disciplines per meet was increased from four to eight.[2]

The series are scheduled to conclude with the Diamond League Finals in Brussels, on the 4th and 5th of September 2026.

Schedule

The following fifteen meetings are scheduled to be included in the 2026 season.[3][4] The Doha Diamond League was originally scheduled to take place at the Qatar Sports Club on May 8, but was rescheduled to take place at the Khalifa International Stadium on June 19 instead.[5]
