View the live stream, results, entry lists and meet schedule for the 2026 Next Generation Athletics.

The 2026 Next Generation Athletics meeting will bring another strong night of middle-distance racing to Nijmegen, Netherlands, on Saturday, May 16, as emerging stars and experienced internationals compete at one of Europe’s fastest early-season meetings.

Part of the World Athletics Continental Tour Challenger series, the meeting has established itself as a key destination for athletes chasing qualifying standards and fast times during the outdoor season. Hosted at Atletiekbaan Brakkenstein, the event traditionally attracts deep international fields in the 800m, 1500m, 5000m and steeplechase events, with many athletes using Nijmegen as an important stepping stone toward major championships later in the summer.

How to Watch

The event will be streamed live on YouTube, with the live coverage starting at 18:30 Central European Time (GMT +2).
