2026 World Climbing Series

The 2026 World Climbing Series is the 38th edition of the international competition climbing series organised by World Climbing. This is the first edition known as the World Climbing Series, a change from the previous name, IFSC Climbing World Cup, following the renaming of the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) to World Climbing in December 2025.

It was held in 13 locations with 19 events per gender: six events each in the competition bouldering and competition lead climbing disciplines, and seven events in the competition speed climbing discipline. The series begins on 1 May in Keqiao with the first bouldering event of the season and concludes on 25 October with the lead and speed event in Santiago.

Scheduling In October 2025, World Climbing (then known as IFSC) announced the 2026 competition schedule. The 2026 season includes the first ever World Climbing Series event in Chile, with Santiago selected as the final stop on the circuit.

The schedule accommodates the 2026 World Climbing Youth Championship in Arco, Italy from 18 to 25 July.

Competition format and ranking The top three finishers in each individual competition receive medals, and the overall winners are awarded trophies. At the end of the season, an overall ranking is determined based upon points, which athletes are awarded for finishing in the top 80 of each individual event.
