A complete list of the qualified bodybuilders for the 2026 Mr. Olympia.
The dates and location of the 2026 Mr. Olympia have been set for Las Vegas, Nevada from September 24th – 27th at the Palms Casino Resort and Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. Details have been shared with Generation Iron and athletes have already begun punching their tickets to the event.
The qualification period began on Sept. 15 and will run to Aug. 30, 2026. In 2022, the IFBB did away with the points qualification system for all divisions other than Wheelchair. Competitors also had the chance to qualify by winning a show. Now, athletes will have to win two shows in certain divisions over the course of the season in order to compete on the biggest stage in bodybuilding.
In this post we share the IFBB Pro League’s full qualification set of rules for the 2026 Olympia competition.
