The 2025 CrossFit Season Prize Purse
The 2025 CrossFit Games rulebook reveals a significant change to the way the prize purse works for all parts of the season. Starting this year, athlete payouts across multiple stages/divisions will increase with the number of Open registrations.
Prize Purse Funding
In the same announcement, CrossFit added a brand new prize available to affiliate owners for the affiliates with the most registrations in each region and for affiliates with the top-performing teams in each region. For affiliates, these prizes would be paid out in $2,500 Rogue Fitness gift cards, an amazing way for these affiliates to buy new gear from a top sponsor.
Payout Breakdown
From the weekly Open winners to the Fittest on Earth in each of the adaptive divisions, the payouts are now directly dependent upon 2025 Open registration, as broken down by percentage. This is different from previous years, which were provided in part or in whole by sponsors like Under Armor, Reebok, NOBLL, GORUCK, and Northern Spirit.
