Don't miss out! Be at WCH Oregon22

WCH Oregon22 is an unmissable global experience taking place in the United States for the very first time. The best track and field athletes in the world are coming together in a celebration of diversity, human potential, and athletic achievement. This extraordinary showcase is taking center stage in the heart and home of the sport of track and field in the U.S: in Oregon, in Eugene, in Hayward Field at the University of Oregon.

Team USA, the world’s #1 team, will lay it all on the line on their home turf, in a setting that is both richly intimate and magnificently state-of-the-art. An incredible theater for the sport, the newly reimagined Hayward Field will be the epicenter of local, national, and global communities.

All the seating sections around the stadium hug tight to the outside lane of the track, offering the most intimate viewing experience ever at a World Championships. Every seat comes with a wow.

We are so excited for you to experience this extraordinary event. Whether you plan on attending one of the remaining ticketed stadium sessions or the free road events, we can't wait to welcome you to Oregon.

Tickets are available to purchase online or alternatively from our dedicated ticket box office.
