Tickets are on sale for the World Athletics Indoor Championships Kujawy Pomorze 26 – the biggest sports event in Poland in 2026. The event will star the world’s best track and field athletes as they compete at the Kujawsko-Pomorska Arena Toruń from 20-22 March.
The World Indoor Championships is yet another major athletics event taking place in the region, which in recent years has hosted competitions such as the European Athletics Indoor Championships and the European Team Championships. Every year, it also hosts prestigious meetings such as the Irena Szewińska Memorial in Bydgoszcz and the Copernicus Cup – Poland’s top indoor meeting – in Toruń.
Both events hold World Athletics Gold status. Toruń and Bydgoszcz also frequently host the Polish Championships (both indoor and outdoor), and both cities have previously staged European Championships – Toruń the indoor edition, and Bydgoszcz the team championships.
“We expect great interest from fans, so we did everything we could to make as many seats as possible available to the public. Of course, there are limitations – we had to allocate areas for athletes, media and guests from around the world,” says Piotr Całbecki, Marshal of the Kujawy Pomorze Region.
In total, almost 3000 tickets will be available for each of the six sessions, and tickets can be purchased on eBilet.pl. The first pool of tickets went on sale on Monday, while the next release is scheduled for early next year.
“Ticket prices depend on the location in the arena and the specific session. The venue has been divided into three categories – Level II, Level I, and VIP stands. The cheapest ticket, for the opening session of the championships, costs 100 PLN. Depending on the comfort and view from the chosen seat, the price increases,” said Krzysztof Wolsztyński, Vice President of the Polish Athletics Association. Special VIP tickets have also been created.
The competition gets under way on 20 March. Morning sessions will begin at 10:05am each day, while afternoon sessions will start at 6:35pm on Friday and Saturday, and 5:40pm on Sunday. The first medals – in the women’s high jump – will be awarded during the opening session of the championships.
