Any CrossFit fans tuning in on August 3-6, 2023, have a multitude of options to watch the action, which now includes live coverage on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN+. Prior to 2023, the last time the Games were broadcast on ESPN was in 2016. They would to CBS platforms the following year. A seven-year absence from the “Worldwide Leader in Sports” now fills in the gap for the biggest contest in CrossFit.

Here is what Faul said, clarifying the decision to reunite with ESPN in a broadcast partnership of the 2023 CrossFit Games:

“We are thrilled to be back on the preeminent platform for sports as CrossFit’s top athletes showcase their fitness on the very highest stage,” Faul stated. “… This relationship with ESPN will help introduce CrossFit to millions of people, welcoming them into the most supportive and hard-working community on a shared journey to long-term health and fitness.”

Each day of the 2023 Games will have a specific window on a different ESPN platform. For Sunday’s respective Individual Finals, in particular, the final moments will be captured on ESPN2 from 4-6 p.m. E.T.

The 2023 CrossFit Games are already well underway, with the Adaptive and Team Divisions starting earlier this week. The Individual athletes began their portion of the competition on Thursday, August 3, 2023. Justin Medeiros is the defending Men’s champion while the legendary Tia-Clair Toomey’s absence has left behind a sizable chasm for the Women’s competitors to fill.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
