A fan's guide
Olympia Weekend includes the Olympia Fitness & Performance Expo, pre-judging sessions and finals across several days. Pre-judging is where placings are largely decided; the finals add the posing routines and the announcements.
Pay-per-view broadcasts cover the finals; fans attending should buy expo and finals tickets separately.
Our take
The Olympia is the only bodybuilding show that matters to most fans, and 2026 was a strong edition: a close Open, new champions in several divisions and a clear British story.
Our concern is judging consistency across divisions, which remains the sport's biggest credibility issue. Publishing full scorecards for every division would help.
What's next
The 2027 Olympia is expected in Las Vegas in the autumn. Seven Men's Open athletes had qualified by mid-October 2026.
