Elite track and field athletes from across Europe will compete in the 2026 European Athletics Championships, held from August 10-16 at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The biennial event brings together the continent’s top performers competing across sprints, distance races, field events, and combined competitions for medal positions.
Prominent athletes set to participate include Keely Hodgkinson, Mondo Duplantis, and Femke Bol, with Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen making a notable return to competition in the 5,000-meter race. The championships offer opportunities for athletes to establish personal records and compete for continental recognition ahead of future Olympic competition.
