Due to unprecedented demand, additional seating will be added at the Alexander Stadium for the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham from 10-16 August.
Tickets for all sessions, including the high-demand weekend evening sessions, will go back on general sale at 10.00am on Wednesday 4 March. Fans can secure priority access to tickets, by signing up for the exclusive pre-sale, opening at 10.00am on Monday 2 March.
Tickets are expected to sell quickly, and fans are encouraged to get to the front of the queue with pre-sale access by signing up at Birmingham 2026 Sign Up.
Following extraordinary early interest in this summer’s European Athletics Championships, organisers today confirmed that additional seating structures will be installed at the Alexander Stadium, allowing more fans than ever to experience Europe’s finest athletes competing for continental glory.
Demand for tickets has exceeded all expectations, with allocations for the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening sessions already sold out, and many other sessions approaching capacity.
To ensure more supporters can be part of this landmark moment for athletics, the expanded capacity means every session will return to general sale at 10am on Wednesday 4 March, just over five months before the UK hosts the European Athletics Championships for the very first time.
Fans can secure priority access ahead of the crowds by signing up for the 24-hour pre-sale on Monday 2 March at Birmingham 2026 Sign Up.
