The World Fitness Project (WFP) has published its 2027 World Fitness Series. The season-long circuit has 10 qualifying events on four continents, from 2027-04-16 in Athens to 2027-11-07 in Scottsdale, Arizona, and leads to the World Fitness Championship.

The Series is a change from WFP's 2026 format. That season, the World Fitness Tour ran on two Tour Stops, in London (Drumsheds, May 1–3) and at Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana (Aug. 28–30), with a season-long points leaderboard: the 30 men and 30 women with the most combined points after both Tour Stops go to the Finals. WFP's 2027 Series page lists no Tour Stops and no season points. Instead, athletes earn spots at the World Fitness Championship at the individual qualifying events, and the number of spots varies by division and event.

According to WFP's official Series page, the 2027 qualifying events are (local dates):

  • Athens Throwdown — Athens, Greece, April 16–18 (10 spots, 8 divisions)
  • UBL | The Italian Championship — Naples, Italy, June 25–27 (5 spots, 3 divisions)
  • Atlantic Coast Classic — Daytona Beach, Florida, USA, July 2–4 (5 spots, 5 divisions)
  • The Monster Games — Overland Park, Kansas, USA, July 23–25 (9 spots, 7 divisions)
  • Fitland Fitness Festival — Bogotá, Colombia, August 14–16 (6 spots, 6 divisions)
  • TCB — São Paulo, Brazil, September 4–7 (7 spots, 5 divisions)
  • Wodcelona — Barcelona, Spain, September 10–12 (4 spots, 2 divisions)
  • Down Under Championship — Wollongong, Australia, September 24–26 (10 spots, 8 divisions)
  • Oslo Throwdown — Oslo, Norway, October 15–17 (11 spots, 9 divisions)
  • Desert City Classic — Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, November 5–7 (7 spots, 5 divisions)

The Championship will have five pathways. Pro (elite individuals) gets 26 spots per gender. Masters (35–39, 40–44, 45–49, 50–54, 55+) gets at least nine per gender. Pairs (same-sex and mixed; Elite, Intermediate, Scaled and Masters) gets at least one spot per offered category at seven events. Elite Teams of four (two men, two women) get at least four spots. Next Gen (13–16 and 17–22) gets at least eight. WFP says spots vary by division and event, and the event rulebooks mark which divisions qualify for the Championship.

Several questions are still open. WFP's page does not give the World Fitness Championship's dates, venue or prize purse. It also does not say what happens to the Pro Card contracts for signed Pros.

The 2026 season is not finished yet. The World Fitness Finals run December 17–20 at Bella Center in Copenhagen.

All Series dates above are local event dates. WFP has not published start times, so no UTC or CET times can be given yet.
