DIAMOND LEAGUE · 2026 · FINAL · BEL

AG Memorial Van Damme 2026 prize money

The 2026 AG Memorial Van Damme paid $2,214,500 across 32 disciplines at King Baudouin Stadium, Brussels, 4 to 5 September 2026. Eight athletes left with the biggest cheque of the day, $60,000 each.

The Diamond League pays by finishing place. One card sets what first through eighth is worth and the same figure applies in every discipline on it, so the tables below are the same ladder 32 times over. Two ladders, in fact: eight of these disciplines were Diamond+, which pays $100,000 against the $60,000 the other 24 paid.

First place takes 60% of what a discipline pays out and eighth takes 1.0%. That ladder is repeated 32 times at this meeting and it is the whole of how the Diamond League pays: no appearance money, no record bonus, nothing for ninth. Where athletes tie, they take the places they occupy between them, the money for those places is added up and split equally, and the meeting's total does not move. Two athletes finished level here.

Every discipline on the same tier pays out the identical amount, so the last column is two figures repeated rather than a ranking. What differs between the rows is who was standing in each place when it was handed over.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money did the 2026 AG Memorial Van Damme pay?

$2,214,500 in all, across 32 disciplines. 24 of them paid $60,000 and eight were Diamond+, which paid $100,000.

What did winning at the 2026 AG Memorial Van Damme pay?

$60,000 in a Diamond+ discipline and $30,000 in the rest. That is 60% of what the discipline pays out in total, and it is the same figure whether the win came in the 100 m or the javelin.

How far down the field does the Diamond League pay?

Eight places, and ninth pays nothing. 252 athletes finished a discipline at this meeting and 235 of them were paid, so 17 were in a result table here for nothing.

Who earned the most at the 2026 AG Memorial Van Damme?

Eight athletes tied at the top on $60,000 each, because the series pays by finishing place and by nothing else: a win in the shot put is worth exactly what a win in the 100 m is. One athlete was paid more than once at this meeting.

How is a tie paid at the Diamond League?

The tied athletes take the places they occupy and the money for all of those places is added up and split equally. Two athletes finished level at this meeting, which is why two figures in the tables below are not round numbers off the card. The meeting's total is unchanged either way.

Is the AG Memorial Van Damme worth more than a normal Diamond League meeting?

Yes. This is the final, and the final pays on its own card: $30,000 for winning a standard discipline here against $10,000 for winning one at a series meeting of the same season, and $60,000 for winning a Diamond+ discipline. That is why the meeting pot is $2,214,500.
