AFN Unveils Full 2026 Athletics Calendar

Posted : 10 January 2026

The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has unveiled its updated calendar for the 2026 season, outlining a schedule filled with competitions aimed at testing athletes’ depth, preparation, and consistency across all levels of the sport.

The season will kick off with cross-country races, road runs, and early ACAN meets, gradually building momentum through Golden League fixtures, the Shehu Dikko Relays, the Mary Onyali Track & Field Classic, MTN Champs, and age-grade championships held across the country.

As the year progresses, athletes will face a challenging mix of local meets, regional championships, and continental competitions designed to refine performance and assess readiness. Mid-season action will include major international engagements such as the World Relays and the African Athletics Championships, along with national events like the Dynamic Athletics Meet in Lagos and the National Trials.

Later in the year, attention shifts to global competitions, including the Commonwealth Games and the World Athletics Ultimate Championships, while age-group and grassroots events continue to nurture emerging talents. The season will conclude with national finals, international championships, and end-of-year road races, ensuring a comprehensive and structured athletics calendar.

The 2026 AFN calendar emphasizes athlete development, welfare, and sustained competitive growth, providing a clear roadmap for Nigerian athletics throughout the year.
