2027 CrossFit Games divisions
The 2027 CrossFit Games season has four paths depending on your division: Individual, Teams, Age Group (Teenagers and Masters) and Adaptive. They all start in the same place, the Open, which is the first stage of the Games and not a separate competition. This page explains which divisions there are, who enters each and how each advances to the Games, with a quick guide to find where you fit.
The idea in a minute
Everyone registers for the Open, from 7 January 2027. There the system places you in a division based on your age, your sex and what you choose: individual, team or Adaptive. From then on each division has its own path. There is one calendar of dates and cuts, but each path filters differently. In 2027 there are novelties: a new Teenager division (18-19), eight Masters groups (up to 70+), teams with no online qualifier and the National Championships.
