If you thought last season’s HYROX events were big… Phoenix is about to take things to another level.From January 29th to February 1st, 2026, fitness athletes from all over the world will descend on State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona - home of the NFL’s Cardinals - for one of the most anticipated events in functional fitness: HYROX Phoenix Majors 2026.

This isn’t your average HYROX stop. This is a Major - one of only four across the globe. That means bigger crowds, higher stakes, and a level of competition that will test every ounce of grit you’ve got.

Why Phoenix Is the Perfect Stage

Let’s talk about the setup for a second. State Farm Stadium isn’t just some arena - it’s a world-class venue built for big moments. Imagine stepping onto the turf where NFL players battle it out on Sundays, except now it’s you - hammering through 1K runs, sled pushes, wall balls, and burpees with thousands of people watching.

And here’s the best part: Phoenix in late January is prime race weather. Cool mornings, dry air, and zero humidity. No summer heat waves, no excuses - just pure, focused performance.

What It Means to Be a Major

HYROX has crowned Phoenix as one of its global Majors, and that changes everything.This is where elite athletes line up shoulder-to-shoulder, where world records can fall, and where local competitors can prove they belong on the global stage. Whether you’re running solo, in doubles, or in a relay team - you’re part of something bigger than a workout. You’re part of a movement.

If you’ve been training in your gym week after week, counting down the days to your next challenge, this is your stage. From the moment the gun goes off, it’s all heart, all hustle, and all HYROX.

Train Like You Mean It

If you’re heading to Phoenix, don’t wait until January to start dialing things in.Start now. Build your engine, clean up your transitions, and get those stations locked down. Each event - the row, ski, sled push, wall balls - can be the difference between finishing strong or falling apart.

For anyone local in Dallas Fort Worth, we’re putting together HYROX prep sessions designed to mimic the intensity, pacing, and demands of competition day. (Details coming soon!)

Make It an Experience

Even if you’re not racing, HYROX Phoenix is a weekend worth traveling for.Between the energy of the stadium, the scenic Arizona backdrop, and the HYROX community that shows up in full force - it’s the perfect fitness getaway. Grab your teammates, plan your trip, and soak in the atmosphere.

Trust me, there’s nothing like hearing that roar from the crowd when you hit your final wall balls and cross the finish line under the lights.
