Athletes from around the world are beginning to descend upon Jakarta, Indonesia, and in just a couple of days podium training will get underway at the IMS Arena before the competition begins on October 19. Now that the rosters are pretty much solidified and we have all of the information we’ll need to follow along with the action, let’s get into all of it.

What’s at Stake?

Unlike future world championships this quad that will act as qualifiers for the 2028 Olympic Games, this year’s worlds competition is about, well, this year’s competition and not much else!

With no team competition, the focus will be entirely on medal hauls for the best athletes, and though some of last quad’s top contenders are on hiatus or retired, we’ll still see a pretty strong field making most of the finals incredibly competitive. There’s also a big emphasis on gaining experience this year, with many programs opting to send younger or less experienced athletes in the hopes that they’ll be able to help their teams qualify to 2028 over the coming years.

Who’s Competing?

We’ll get into the previews in separate posts over the next few days, tackling the qualification situations and who we think will earn spots in each individual final, as well as the others we think you should keep an eye on in Jakarta.

For now, check out the complete team and individual rosters for both the WAG and MAG fields at the links below! We’re constantly tracking team news from every federation and making updates as athletes are added or withdraw, so be sure to bookmark these for future reference.

When’s It Happening?

Here’s the complete schedule, along with a breakdown of who’s in each subdivision.

All times are local to Jakarta, which is 11 hours ahead of ET. If you need some help with figuring out what this means for your time zone, be sure to check out this Google Calendar, which will automatically add all events to a calendar in your local time zone.

How Can We Follow Along?

Every session of this competition will be streamed on Eurovision. Yes, you heard right – every session, including all qualification sessions, which will have their own individual apparatus streams, so get all of your screens ready!

You’ll need to sign up for a free account and you may not be able to access these streams if you are based in a country that has purchased broadcast rights. Have a VPN handy just in case – I use NordVPN, which is super reliable and relatively inexpensive.

If this doesn’t work for you, Gymnastics Indonesia is also expected to stream all qualifications on YouTube. For finals, you can also check with your local broadcaster, like NBC or Peacock in the United States, the BBC in Great Britain, or wherever you’d normally watch a major sporting event.

Start lists, live scores, and result PDFs will be accessible via both the FIG’s event website and Swiss Timing.

If you miss anything, we’ll be live blogging each and every session, so be sure to follow along right on our website!
