Beginning with the upcoming season, the Wanda Diamond League will offer athletes unparalleled prize money. The Diamond League General Assembly declared that $9,240,000 will be awarded in total prize money for the 2025 season. This sum represents the greatest amount since the league’s founding in 2010 and is almost 33% more than the total granted during the epidemic years of 2021–2024.
Approximately $18 million, including promotional fees, will go into athletes for the 2025 season. An extra millions will go for athlete services like lodging, transportation, and medical attention. Under the revised structure, the Wanda Diamond League Final will have a $2.24 million prize pool, and each of the 14 regular series meetings will award a total of $500,000.
Each discipline will have prize money ranging from $30,000 to $50,000 during series meetings and $60,000 to $100,000 for the Final. As usual, the prize money for male and female athletes will be exactly the same, with no distinction based on gender. Track and field athletes across the board will profit from this increment, which will be applicable to all 32 Diamond categories. The Wanda Diamond League, which is the best one-day series in athletics and a vital component of the outdoor season for the game’s top players, has seen an increase in prize money.
From April to September, the series offers elite athletes from all over the world the opportunity to compete at the highest level over 15 events spread across 13 nations on four continents. About $270 million has been invested on athletes by the series since its launch in 2010, comprising roughly $90 million in athlete services and $180 million in prize money and advertising costs. The series wants to continue providing competitors in all disciplines with excellent conditions and services as it gets closer to its 16th season in 2025.
