Program CHIO Rotterdam 2026
The 77th edition begins in 90 days. That promises to be another spectacle of top-level equestrian sport, talent, shows, and much more at our beautiful location in the Kralingse Bos. The 2026 program has been announced. In the run-up to the World Championship in Aachen in August, the national team coaches face a difficult task in forming a team of top riders. The upcoming CHIO will certainly play an important role in this for riders and national coaches.

- Thursday: Dressage Grand Prix, and International 5* Show Jumping.
- Friday: 2* and 5* Show Jumping including the Longines League of Nations™️

Many different stands can once again be found in the Stroodorp and at the entrance grounds of CHIO Rotterdam. Food trucks with treats, providers of equestrian and lifestyle products, and entertainment every evening.

Shop, enjoy a bite to eat and a drink, meet other horse enthusiasts and Rotterdammers, and be surprised by fun and educational performances for everyone.
