CrossFit has partnered with a series of event organizers to host the 2021 CrossFit Semifinals. As a brand new phase of the CrossFit Games season, the Semifinals will serve as the final hurdle for individual athletes and teams hoping to qualify for the 2021 CrossFit Games. 

The 2021 Semifinals will take place over four consecutive weekends in May and June. Exact competition dates for each Semifinal event will be published on the CrossFit Games website

Each Semifinal event will host 30 men, 30 women, and 20 teams who emerge from the second stage of the season, the online Quarterfinals, on that continent. Each continent will host at least one Semifinal event and will send at least one man, one woman, and one team from that continent to the CrossFit Games.  

Semifinal partners are responsible for programming the events and managing and executing the competition under the guidance of CrossFit. Invitations to these events will be determined by CrossFit.
