For three days during NextGen Games, the tenth edition of NextGen Games, the Olympic Stadium will be all about sports of the future. From May 29 through May 31, 2026, it's not about sitting in the stands, but getting out on the field yourself. The festival is set up so you can not only watch demonstrations, but above all try out new and urban sports yourself.

The organization presents NextGen Games as a recurring series of sporting events centered around talent development. This anniversary edition builds on previous years that focused on young athletes. The focus is on young people who want to discover where their strengths lie, in sports that do not necessarily belong in a traditional sports hall or with a permanent club.

The setting of the Olympic Stadium gives the festival a clear foundation: a historic sports venue that is now being used as a testing ground for innovative disciplines. In and around the stadium, this creates an active sports landscape where different components take place simultaneously. Demos and clinics are running everywhere, showing how sports are evolving, from urban variants to other new forms that have yet to get used to the public.

The setting of the Olympic Stadium gives the festival a clear foundation: a historic sports venue now used as a testing ground for innovative disciplines.

Anyone in the mood for a sporting lifestyle injection at the beginning of summer will get three compact days of action, experimentation and young talent here, right in the middle of a stadium normally associated mainly with great sports history.
