Olympic 400m champion Marileidy Paulino will go up against home favourite Natalia Kaczmarek, while the full 100m hurdles podium will clash at the Silesia Kamila Skolimowska Memorial in Chorzow on 25 August.
World 400m hurdles record-holder Karsten Warholm will also be looking to return to winning ways when he competes at the Wanda Diamond League meeting in the Polish city for the first time.
In the 400m, Paulino – who added the Olympic title in Paris to the world title she won in Budapest – will go up against Olympic bronze medallist Kaczmarek, fourth-place finisher Rhasidat Adeleke and their fellow Olympic finalists Sada Williams and Henriette Jaeger as well as mixed 4x400m champion Lieke Klaver.
The 100m hurdles will star Olympic champion Masai Russell, silver medallist Cyrena Samba-Mayela and bronze medallist Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, as well as Nia Ali, Nadine Visser, Kendra Harrison, Tobi Amusan and home star Pia Skrzyszowska.
After winning three world titles and claiming the Olympic crown in Tokyo, Warholm had to settle for 400m hurdles silver behind Rai Benjamin in Paris but heads to Silesia on the hunt for a first Diamond League win of the year.
This time Warholm, a two-time Diamond League champion, will be going up against Olympic finalists Kyron McMaster and Rasmus Magi.
In Silesia they will join the previously announced Mondo Duplantis, Femke Bol, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Gianmarco Tamberi, Mutaz Barshim, Ryan Crouser and Joe Kovacs.
