The world’s best athletes will get a chance to stake their Tokyo claims under the Tuesday night lights in London this year.

The Müller Anniversary Games will return to the London Stadium on the evening of July 13th, after the disappointment of last year’s cancelled event, as part of the new-look Wanda Diamond League.

Athletes will compete in 14 disciplines, with $25,000 prize money available in each, as the season builds towards a two-day final in Zurich in September.

It will be the first time the event has been staged under the stadium’s famous floodlights since Kendra Harrison smashed the women’s 100m hurdles world record in 2016.

And for the Olympic hopefuls the event will fall just ten days before the opening ceremony – with London the final stop before the Games for many athletes.

Tickets for the Müller Anniversary Games will be available via a ballot and initially be sold to a limited capacity, ensuring fans can enjoy this year’s event, whilst also adhering to social distancing. We will closely monitor the progress of the government roadmap and fans feedback before increasing the capacity further.

The overriding priority will continue to be the health and safety of all stakeholders, in particular athletes, fans, officials, staff and volunteers. We will continue to work closely with all those involved to make sure we host a safe event.

The ballot is now open to those who registered, the next phase of the ballot will be announced in due course!
