The 2027 international archery season will center on a four-stage World Cup circuit, a schedule finalized well ahead of the World Championships, as reported by OA Sport. This calendar serves as the primary build-up to the global title event and offers athletes their first opportunity to secure Olympic qualification spots for the Los Angeles 2028 Games.
Four Cities Host the 2027 World Cup Stages
The World Cup circuit is set to open in Asia before moving through Europe and North America. Competition begins in Shanghai, China, where the first stage is scheduled for April 13–18. Following the season opener, the tour heads to Antalya, Turkey, for the second event from May 4–9.
The third leg of the series shifts to Tijuana, Mexico, running from June 8–13. The regular season concludes in Madrid, Spain, with competition slated for July 6–11. Organizers have noted that the Madrid event is expected to present challenging conditions for competitors due to the high summer heat in the Spanish capital.
Finals Venue and World Championships in Medellin
While the four regular-season stages are confirmed, the specific venue for the World Cup Finals remains to be determined. The season-ending tournament will take place from July 29 to August 1, 2027, immediately following the conclusion of the Madrid stage.
Following the conclusion of the World Cup circuit, the focus of the international archery community will shift to the World Championships. The 2027 world title event is scheduled to be held in Medellin, Colombia, from September 20–27. This tournament represents the most significant test of the season, carrying both medal implications and further opportunities for athletes to earn quota places for the 2028 Olympics.
Context of the 2027 Schedule
The early release of this calendar provides a clear roadmap for national teams managing the transition into the outdoor season. While the dates and locations for the World Cup stages are now public, further details regarding specific disciplines, category breakdowns, and the total number of events remain pending.
This schedule follows the 2026 season, which saw athletes like Mauro Nespoli and Roberta Di Francesco qualify for the World Cup Finals held in Saltillo. As the sport moves toward 2027, the emphasis remains on competing in the World Cup circuit, which offers titles, medals, and Olympic qualification spots for Los Angeles 2028.
