America’s 250th Birthday Party will now feature an expanded Prefontaine Classic, with competition taking place on both Friday, July 3rd, and Saturday, July 4, 2026.
The two days of elite track and field competition at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon will offer fans world-class performances, family-friendly festivities, and traditional patriotic celebrations.
The Diamond Disciplines previously announced to take place during the 2026 Pre Classic can be viewed here. The list of all disciplines and the full two-day event schedule will be released at a later date.
Tickets for both days will go on sale in early 2026, with two-day packages available for fans who want the complete Prefontaine Classic experience.
The best way for fans to secure the best seats at the 2026 Prefontaine Classic is to sign up for priority ticket access. Track and field fans can sign up for free for priority ticket access, which allows ticket purchases before the general public on-sale date.
