The Wanda Diamond League will adopt a new prize money structure from 2025, with larger rewards on offer for individual athletes across the track and field disciplines.<\/p>\n

Under the new structure, there will be a significant increase in the top prizes available, while more prize money will now also be awarded to lower-finishing competitors. <\/p>\n

In most Diamond Disciplines, individual athletes will continue to win up to 10,000 USD at series meetings and up to 30,000 USD at the Wanda Diamond League Final.<\/p>\n

From 2025, there will also be a select number of Diamond+ Disciplines, in which athletes can earn higher prize money. <\/p>\n

In these disciplines, the maximum prize money for individual athletes will rise to 20,000 USD at series meetings and 50,000 USD at the Final. <\/p>\n

There will be four (two male and two female) Diamond+ Disciplines at each series meeting and eight (four male and four female) at the Final. Each meeting will announce their Diamond+ Disciplines in the first half of 2025. <\/p>\n

In all disciplines, prize money will also increase – and in some cases double – for athletes finishing lower than second.<\/p>\n

Athletes finishing between 9th and 12th will now also receive fixed prize money in all disciplines (both track and field) at both series meetings and at the Final. <\/p>\n

As always, prize money is entirely gender-equal, with exactly the same rates for male and female athletes in each discipline.<\/p>\n

As announced in September, the new season will see a total of 9.24 million USD paid out in prize money, the highest total pot in the series\u2019 history.<\/p>\n

Including promotional fees for top athletes, a total of around 18 million USD will be paid to athletes in total over the course of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

As every year and in addition, around 6 million USD will be invested in athlete services  such as travel and transport, accommodation and medical and physio provision.<\/p>\n

See below for the full breakdown of Wanda Diamond League prize money in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
