Xiamen Diamond League schedule and start times

The 2026 Diamond League continues with another intriguing field set to compete at the Xiamen meeting.

The campaign belatedly got underway in Shanghai last week having been due to begin in Qatar, with the event in Doha has been delayed until June due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

British sprinting star Amy Hunt is set to battle Sha’Carri Richardson and Shericka Jackson again having finished fifth in the season opener, while Olympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo is part of a stacked line-up in the men’s 100m.

Alison dos Santos and Karsten Warholm renew their hurdles rivalry, too, after the Brazilian held off the great Norwegian in Shanghai.

Here’s everything you need to know.
