The International Triathlon Union announced today that it will expand the World Triathlon Championship Series to include two additional events for the 2026 season, bringing the total number of races to ten.
The new venues include a stop in Singapore and another in Montréal, Canada. Both cities have hosted successful triathlon events in the past but have not been part of the championship circuit in recent years.
“These additions reflect the growing global interest in triathlon,” said World Triathlon President Marisol Casado. “We’re seeing unprecedented participation numbers across all age groups and ability levels.”
What This Means for Athletes
Professional triathletes will now have more opportunities to accumulate ranking points throughout the season. The expanded calendar also means athletes can be more selective about which events to target based on their strengths and recovery needs.
Age group athletes benefit too—more championship series events mean more qualifying opportunities and more chances to compete on world-class courses.
Key Dates
The Singapore event will take place in March 2026, providing an early-season Asian venue. Montréal is scheduled for August, filling a gap in the mid-summer calendar.
Registration for elite athletes opens in December. Age group entry will follow in January through the standard World Triathlon qualification system.
Full details including course maps and entry requirements will be published on the World Triathlon website next month.
