The Herculis EBS Meeting in Monaco will take place on July 10, 2026, at the Louis-II Stadium. The organizers have just announced the events selected for this edition. True to its reputation, the Principality is ready to introduce new disciplines to the public.
The Herculis EBS Meeting in Monaco is part of the major events of the Wanda Diamond League. The 2026 edition is scheduled for Friday, July 10. Ticket sales will open at the end of November.
This competition is part of the international Diamond League circuit, which consists of fifteen meetings spread across thirteen countries and four continents. Each event allows athletes to earn points for the final, scheduled for September 4 and 5 in Brussels. The 2026 season will begin in Doha on May 8.
The Monegasque event occupies a unique place in this calendar. The Louis-II Stadium has already witnessed nine world records in its relatively recent history, a rare feat in the world of athletics. The meeting has also been named the best in the world seven times and was ranked fourth in 2025. These are signs that confirm the quality of its organization and the interest it generates among athletes and spectators alike.
The conditions offered by the Rock contribute to this success on a track described as fast by the athletes. The climate, the proximity between the public and the participants, and the reputation of the meeting attract major figures in the discipline every year. In 2025, nearly 400,000 spectators attended the various stages of the Diamond League worldwide. The broadcast in 170 countries and the strong presence on social media also demonstrate the growing interest in this circuit.
The events revealed for the 2026 edition
The organizers have unveiled the program of events. For women, seven disciplines will be on the menu: 200 m, 400 m, 3,000 m or 5,000 m, 100 m hurdles, pole vault, triple jump, and javelin throw. For men, athletes will compete in eight events: 100 m, 400 m, 800 m, 3,000 m or 5,000 m, 3,000 m steeplechase, high jump, long jump, and finally the relay.
Each race and each contest promises fierce competition. The Monegasque public is used to seeing the biggest names in the discipline. The previous edition featured several notable performances. The Dutch Femke Bol recorded a time of 51’’95 in the 400 m hurdles. The American Noah Lyles won the 200 m in 19’’88. The Saint Lucian sprinter Julien Alfred ran the 100 m in 10’’79. In pole vaulting, the Swede Armand Duplantis cleared 6.05 m, while the Kenyan Emmanuel Wanyonyi excelled in the 800 m with a time of 1’41’’44.
These results confirm that the Monegasque meeting remains a venue for high-level performances. Each edition attracts athletes seeking valuable points for the Diamond League, as well as benchmarks before the major international competitions.
On July 10, 2026, the Louis-II Stadium will once again host a dense lineup, with athletes in top form in the heart of the summer season. For now, it is impossible to say who will be present at this new edition. One thing is certain, for the public, it will be an opportunity to closely follow the progress of some world figures and perhaps witness new records.
The Herculis EBS Meeting maintains its place in the world elite. It remains a showcase of international athletics and a significant event for the Principality. As every year, the Rock is preparing to experience an evening entirely dedicated to the track and field events, in a setting known for its atmosphere and organizational precision.
