Xiamen Diamond League 2026 prize money

The 2026 Xiamen Diamond League paid $500,000 across fourteen disciplines at Xiamen Egret Stadium, Xiamen, 23 May 2026. Eight athletes left with the biggest cheque of the day, $20,000 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 fourteen times over. Two ladders, in fact: eight of these disciplines were Diamond+, which pays $40,000 against the $30,000 the other six paid.

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 Xiamen Diamond League pay?

$500,000 in all, across fourteen disciplines. Six of them paid $30,000 and eight were Diamond+, which paid $40,000.

What did winning at the 2026 Xiamen Diamond League pay?

$20,000 in a Diamond+ discipline and $10,000 in the rest. That is 50% 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. 154 athletes finished a discipline at this meeting and 112 of them were paid, so 42 were in a result table here for nothing.

Who earned the most at the 2026 Xiamen Diamond League?

Eight athletes tied at the top on $20,000 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. Every athlete paid here was paid once, because nobody doubled up.

Is the Xiamen Diamond League worth more than a normal Diamond League meeting?

No. It is a series meeting and it pays the series card, which is the same card every other series meeting of 2026 paid. The final is the one that pays more.

Where to next

The rest of the Diamond League money
