A brand-new era for track and field takes off this Friday as the curtain rises on the inaugural season of Grand Slam Track at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica.



The brainchild of sprinting icon Michael Johnson, this fresh professional league aims to shake up the sport, showcasing elite speedsters in a tightly packed four-meet series stretching from April to June.

A total of 48 athletes — four men and four women in each of six disciplines — have been locked in for the entire 2025 slate. These core competitors will go head-to-head in two events apiece at every stop, while a rotating cast of challengers fights to earn a coveted full-time slot for the 2026 campaign.

Points are awarded based on race placements, with individual 'slam' champions crowned at each stop, alongside an overall season winner. And with lucrative prize money on the line, the stakes are high from the opening gun.

Kicking off its inaugural season, Michael Johnson's Grand Slam Track league is preparing for its first meet in Kingston, Jamaica.

The stage is set for 48 of the world's best track and field athletes to compete head to head, with names like Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Gabby Thomas, Masai Russell, Quincy Hall and Josh Kerr poised to take the track.


Jamaica will be the first of four stops on the league's 2025 circuit, with Miami, Philadelphia and Los Angeles still to come. More athletes will be announced with each Slam, making for some extreme competition.

Here's everything you need to know about Grand Slam Track Kingston, including TV channel and streaming options for the inaugural meet.

A groundbreaking new era in track and field kicks off this week as Kingston, Jamaica plays host to the inaugural Grand Slam Track meet—a competition featuring some of the world's most decorated athletes, including Olympic and World Championship medalists.

At stake is a lucrative $100,000 (£77,264) prize for each category winner, with a staggering $12.6 million (£9.74m) prize pool allocated across all four meets. The series, designed to inject fresh energy into the sport beyond Olympic years, aims to provide elite athletes with more frequent, high-stakes racing opportunities.

A star-studded lineup is set to compete, featuring American hurdling sensation and world record holder Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, along with 2024 Olympic champions Cole Hocker and Gabby Thomas.

Also in the mix are Olympic silver medallists Kenny Bednarek and Daryll Neita, former 100m world champion Fred Kerley, and Paris 200m bronze medallist Brittany Brown. However, Olympic gold medallist Quincy Hall and rising Nigerian sprint star Favour Ofili were among the late withdrawals.

British fans have plenty to look forward to as well. In addition to Neita, the UK contingent includes national record-holder Dina Asher-Smith, four-time European champion Matthew Hudson-Smith, Olympic bronze medallist Zharnel Hughes, former world 1,500m champion Josh Kerr, and newly crowned indoor silver medallist Neil Gourley.

Here's everything you need to know about Grand Slam Track Kingston, including TV channel and streaming options for the inaugural meet.

Team Great Britain will have a strong presence in Kingston, with Zharnel Hughes, Matthew Hudson-Smith, Josh Kerr, Daryll Neita, Neil Gourley, Dina Asher-Smith, and Melissa Courtney-Bryant all lacing up this weekend.

Whether Johnson's ambitious vision will truly revolutionize track and field and connect with a broader audience is yet to be seen. But one thing’s certain: when the fastest athletes on the planet share the stage, sparks are bound to fly.

With anticipation building, GOAL delves into the key details of this highly awaited championships, including where to watch, venue, schedules and how to watch.
