The weekend features twelve Open Division teams and six Women’s Division teams competing for the world title.
Saturday Opens with Group A
Saturday Session 1 begins at 13:00 CET with Group A of the Open Division.
Standing World Champions Hollywood Freerunners arrive as the favourites after establishing themselves as the strongest team in the world over recent seasons.
French team FAKAW Paris enters its first ever World Championship while competing on home soil in front of a French crowd expected to heavily support them throughout the weekend.
American team Nimbus returns with a reinforced roster after recruiting Gabriel Payne from the Atlanta Talons. Many expect them to challenge for a deep run this year.
Sweden’s Quality Movement competes in its second World Championship appearance. At their previous Worlds they failed to win a match or score a single evasion, but the team has improved significantly since then and will try to prove it on the biggest stage.
Israel’s Fata Morgana and Morocco’s Rooftop Kings complete Group A.
Saturday Session 1 features twelve of the fifteen Group A matches, with each team playing four matches during the session.
Group B Brings the Tournament’s Biggest Battles
Saturday Session 2 at 18:00 CET hosts what many already call the tournament’s “Group of Death.”
NYX, Parkour59, UGEN, The Crow, Parkourman and Dexterity Depot all enter with realistic hopes of reaching the knockout stage, the final, or even winning the entire event.
With only two qualification spots available, every chase could decide the standings. Session 2 also includes twelve of the fifteen Group B matches.
Women’s Division Takes Over Sunday
Sunday Session 1 begins at 13:00 CET with the Women’s Division.
The format starts with two groups of three teams playing round robin matches before moving directly into semi finals, a third place match and the final.
Every team only gets two group matches before elimination rounds begin, leaving almost no room for mistakes.
Sunday Night Decides the Open Division World Champions
Sunday Session 4 concludes the weekend with the Open Division finals.
The session begins with the final six round robin matches, one remaining match per team, before the tournament moves into the semi finals, third place match and World Championship final.
The knockout bracket follows the classic cross group format:
- 1st Group A vs 2nd Group B
- 1st Group B vs 2nd Group A
With Hollywood Freerunners defending their title, FAKAW Paris competing at home, Rooftop Kings’ winning streak or Parkour59 new recruit, WCT7 is shaping up to be the most competitive event in the history of the sport.
WCT7 World Championship takes place on 6 and 7 June 2026 at the Arènes d’Évry Courcouronnes in France. Tickets are available on World Chase Tag®
