Full Event Schedule Announced for World Athletics U20 Championships Oregon 26
The full event schedule for the world’s return to Oregon has been announced by World Athletics and TrackTown USA. The 2026 World Athletics U20 Championships will take place August 5-9, 2026, at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon. This world championship event, also known as ‘Oregon 26’, will welcome the best junior athletes from around the world to meet, greet, and compete on the global stage.
The first world champion to be crowned at Oregon 26 will come from the Men’s Shot Put competition during the evening session on Wednesday, August 5th. This session will also feature the Mixed 4x100 meter relay, the first time this event has been contested in the history of the U20 Championships.
The evening session on Saturday, August 8th, will see 12 world championship events, with the final day on Sunday, August 9th, crowning world champions in 15 events.
For future Olympians, their path often goes through the World Athletics U20 Championships. Before winning his Olympic Gold Medal in the Men’s 200 meters at the Paris Games, Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo won two World U20 Championships (2021 in Kenya & 2022 in Colombia). The last iteration of the World Athletics U20 Championships was held in Lima, Peru, where more than 50 athletes from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games were eligible to compete.
Hayward Field previously hosted this global event in 2014 when it was then known as the IAAF World Junior Championships. The eyes of the world were also set on Eugene in 2022 for the World Athletics Championships Oregon22.
