CrossFit published its full 2027 competition calendar on 2026-10-21. The 2027 CrossFit Open starts with Workout 27.1, released 2027-02-17 at 20:00 UTC (21:00 CET). Registration opens on 2027-01-07 (the official Open schedule shows 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET), and the individual path then runs through Quarterfinals (March 15–22), Semifinals (April–June) and the CrossFit Games.

The Open will again be three workouts over three weeks: 27.1 (Feb. 17–22), 27.2 (Feb. 24–March 1) and 27.3 (March 3–8). The official guide calls one change new this year: each workout is released on a Wednesday on the CrossFit Games website. Athletes have until Monday at 5 p.m. Pacific Time to submit, which is 01:00 UTC (02:00 CET) on Tuesday. According to the official Open schedule, the windows run:

27.1: 2027-02-17 20:00 UTC (21:00 CET) to 2027-02-23 01:00 UTC (02:00 CET)
27.2: 2027-02-24 20:00 UTC (21:00 CET) to 2027-03-02 01:00 UTC (02:00 CET)
27.3: 2027-03-03 20:00 UTC (21:00 CET) to 2027-03-09 01:00 UTC (02:00 CET)

The top 25% of individuals worldwide will advance to Quarterfinals, held online at affiliates from March 15 to 22. The top 2,000 men and 2,000 women from Quarterfinals will then reach Semifinals. As in 2026, several in-person events will be recognized as Semifinals between April and June, and an Individual Online Semifinal will follow from June 14 to 21, according to the season guide. (CrossFit's Semifinals overview page currently shows June 17–22 for the Online Semifinal; this article uses the guide's dates until CrossFit clarifies.) Athletes may accept invites to up to two in-person Semifinals and may also enter the Online Semifinal. The top three men and three women from each Semifinal, including the online one, will qualify for the Games.

The 2027 CrossFit Games will have a field of 40 men and 40 women. CrossFit says the location and dates will be "announced soon." The list of Semifinal events is also still to come.

The guide also lists a few other changes. Teams will now qualify through new in-person Team Qualifiers (see separate story). A new 18–19 Teenage division has been added. The Age-Group Online Semifinals will run June 24–28, according to the guide; CrossFit's Semifinals overview page shows June 24–29. The 2027 Masters CrossFit Games will be hosted by Magic City Games, whose site places them in Birmingham, Alabama (USA), with dates still to be announced. The Teenage CrossFit Games will be hosted by Pit Prodigies. The Adaptive Online Semifinals, run by WheelWOD, are set for May 13–18 in the guide; the Semifinals overview page shows May 13–19. This article uses the guide's dates in both cases.

CrossFit also says more "new features" for the 2027 Open will be presented on Wednesday, 2026-10-28, after its Affiliate Town Hall.
