About the event

UBL | The Italian Championship was conceived in 2019 and held its first live edition in Casoria, near Naples, in June 2021 with teams of two. It moved to Mostra d'Oltremare, the largest exhibition centre in Southern Italy, in 2023, and in 2025 it ran three indoor competition fields across more than 6,000 m2 plus a workout in the venue's Olympic pool. In 2026 it recorded 1,950 qualifier registrations, athletes from 59 countries, and hosted the iF3 European Championships. In 2027 the UBL season has two live events, Turin (27-28 February, Inalpi Arena) and Naples (25-27 June); only Naples is part of the World Fitness Series.

Every division must first complete the online Qualifier on Circle21 (15 February to 15 March 2027, two workout releases, video and score submission). Finalists are announced from 1 May 2027 and compete live at Mostra d'Oltremare over three days, 25-27 June 2027; all divisions compete on all three days. Individual and team (three-athlete) divisions are offered. At the Naples final, athletes in Indy Elite, Indy Masters and Indy Under 21 compete for the World Fitness Championship spots allocated to UBL.
