CrossFit Games coverage will be available for Live on Games.CrossFit.com and the highlights will be available on social media and YouTube Pages.
There is no official broadcast on TV for the NOBULL crossfit series this year.
Although the best way to enjoy the CrossFit Games is to attend the events in person and experience the high-intensity action from a close distance, not everyone can make it to Madison, Wisconsin.
The game's official website, alongside other social media platforms, has you covered on the coverage front. The field will have 40 participants in 6 days, both men's and women's categories who will test their fitness to the limit to be crowned champions.
In addition to the individuals, will be 38 teams participating in the Games, with 10 teams each from Europe, North America East, and North America West.
Tia-Clair Toomey, who has won the last six editions of the Games in the women's category, will not feature this year as she recently took on the role of motherhood in May. Ricky Garard, who finished 3rd in 2022, is also missing from the 40-man field this year and would have been one of the favorites.
Where Can I Watch The CrossFit Games?
CrossFit Games 2023 live stream will be available on official site, Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube for the Age-Group and Adaptive competitions.
The live broadcast of the Games will be broadcasted on TV through ESPN platforms from August 3-6. The partnership between the two was announced before the start of the Individual Divisions and will be available on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN+.
The information regarding the live streaming of the individual and team competitions starting from August 3 has not been released yet with official announcements to come in the following days.
The events will have a fixed camera in the arena where the games will be held alongside one in-arena announcer for the games.
You may be wondering are the CrossFit games on TV like in 2020 when CBS Sports broadcasted live and sadly the 2023 CrossFit Games will not be available on TV.
ESPN was the first network to broadcast the CrossFit Games back in 2011 and was followed by CBS Sports in 2017.

CrossFit Games 2023 Athletes List
CrossFit Games 2023 athletes in the Top 10 of the worldwide Rankings are:
- Justin Medeiros
- Patrick Vellner
- Roman Khrennikov
- Lazar Dukic
- Jeffrey Adler
- Brent Fikowski
- Bjorgvin Karl Gudmundsson
- Jayson Hopper
- Samuel Kwant
- Guilherme Malheiros
The 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games has a lot of big names that have made it to the games this year. All the athletes will look forward to becoming the fittest and test themselves to the limit.
Noah Olsen does not make the cut in the Top 10 worldwide rankings and sits at 12th. Although he doesn't make the list, he is a strong competitor and contender who is famous for being one of the biggest nemesis of Matt Fraser.
The games are unpredictable at times and no clear-cut winner can be predicted till the later stages of the events. Although hard to predict, these athletes stand out from the rest.
Justin Medeiros
The 2021 and 2022 CrossFit Games champion will look forward to his third consecutive win this year. He beat Patrick Vellner to be crowned champion in 2021 and was just 22 at that time making him the youngest champion.
In 2022, he managed to win the games without a single event win but was consistent throughout the games and finished in the Top 5 in ten events. He accumulated 3000 points in the semifinals in 2023.
Patrick Vellner
Vellner will be Medeiros' biggest competition and is another favorite to win the games. The 33-year-old Canadian athlete is ranked 2nd in the world and has already come close to winning it once in 2021 and has scored 4000 points in the 2023 semifinals.
Although he lost by 82 points that year, he will try to better his performance and use his experience since he has been competing since 2013. He finished sixth in 2022 and will at least want a podium finish in 2023.
Roman Khrennikov
In 2022, Khrennikov competed for the first time in the CrossFit Games even though he had qualified for the games in the last four years. He could not participate as he was not granted VISA to the United States due to his nationality.
The Russian athlete has now been granted a VISA and can compete in future games if he qualifies, although a rare chance that he would not. Khrennikov finished 2nd in 2022 and will be one of the favorites to win this year.
Lazar Dukic
The 27-year-old Serbian finished 8th in 2022, and after the end of the 2023 semifinals, he is ranked 4th in the world. He has made a good start to the year with a final ranking of #1 in the European Semifinal with a score of 4000.
Jeffrey Adler
Adler is surely set to challenge for the championship this year and has already shown much promise up until the Semifinals. He finished #1in the North America East Semifinal and the CrossFit Open with a final ranking of #2 in the Individual Quarterfinals.
His final ranking at the 2022 CrossFit Games was 5th, and looks much better this year. Adler climbed a spot and is ranked 5th worldwide after scoring 4000 points in the semifinals.
