The 2026 European Athletics Championships run from August 10 to 16 at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, the first time a British city has staged the event, and just over a week after the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The storylines are stacked: Jakob Ingebrigtsen chasing the 1500m and 5000m, a rematch with Josh Kerr over 1500m, and home favorites Keely Hodgkinson and Georgia Hunter Bell in the 800m.

If you only care about the running, here is the schedule, day by day. Each day runs a morning session and an evening session. All times are British Summer Time and, as always, subject to change. Finals are in bold. This covers the track events and the marathon.
