in 2026 there will only be 3 World Cups which are considered Cat A events. Starting in Cairo and ending in Budapest each World Cup has close to 4 weeks between events. The UIPM is introducing a separate series of events called Challengers which will give athletes more opportunities to compete in high level international competitions without the spot light and restrictions and cost of a World Cup. USAPM is awaiting more information on these competitions and will share anything we find out in the coming month.
April 8-12: World Cup 1, Cairo, Egypt
May 13-17: World Cup 2, Pazardzhik, Bulgaria
June 17-21: World Cup 3, Budapest, Hungary
