Weltklasse Zürich, the final regular-season meeting of the 2026 Wanda Diamond League, runs Thursday, Aug. 27 at Letzigrund stadium, where 14 track races and a men’s wheelchair 1500m run between 1:08 p.m. and 3:53 p.m. ET (7:08 p.m. and 9:53 p.m. CEST). Most of the remaining places in next month’s final will be settled by the time the meet is over.

Zurich is the 14th of 15 stops this season, and the circuit closes with a two-day final in Brussels on Sept. 4 and 5. For anyone sitting outside the qualifying positions in their discipline, Thursday night is the last chance to move, four days after the circuit’s previous stop at the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial in Chorzow.

How to Watch

FloTrack holds the United States rights and is streaming the meet, and FloSports is carrying its Diamond League coverage free on the FloSports channel on Prime Video through the Brussels final. Weltklasse Zürich lists SRF 2 in Switzerland, BBC Two in the United Kingdom and CBC 2 in Canada, with the Wanda Diamond League live stream covering territories that have no broadcaster.
