Read below to find out about dates, team entry details and more on our Turf Games Dubai 2026 weekend.
The 2026 festival will be held over the weekend of 20/21 November.
LOCATION
ISD STADIUM- INDOORS + OUTDOORS
ISD Stadium, located in Sport City, Dubai - will be the base for this years event. There will be a change in layout from pervious years. A portion of the event - including the athlete area and some workouts and vendors will be located indoors on the ISD indoor pitch.
This will open up space for us to hopefully use the running track at the venue for a workout. We will also have a food village, ice baths and other activations outdoors.
We are excited to a change up to the layout which will provide some extra flexibility in workouts and also more shade for athletes and spectators.
It is going to be a vibe!
