United World Wrestling (UWW) has announced the dates and host cities for the three 2027 Ranking Series tournaments, which will play an important role in the qualification process for the LA 2028 Olympic Games.
2027 RANKING SERIES CALENDAR
🇭🇷 Zagreb, Croatia: February 1–7
🇺🇸 Coralville, USA: May 31 – June 6

NEW RANKING SYSTEM – EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2027
Under the updated system, athletes will earn ranking points for both their final placement and every victory.
Points awarded:
* World Championships & Olympic Games: 40,000 points for 1st place + 2,000 per victory.
* Ranking Series: 20,000 points for 1st place + 1,000 per victory.
* Continental Championships & Games: 10,000 points for 1st place + 500 per victory.
HOW WILL OLYMPIC RANKING WORK?
UWW will count each athlete’s five highest-scoring results out of seven competitions:
2027:
* Three Ranking Series events
* Continental Championships
* World Championships
2028:
* One Ranking Series event
* Continental Championships
The three highest-ranked athletes in each Olympic weight category will secure their places at the LA 2028 Olympic Games through the UWW World Ranking.
The new system places greater importance on every match, making each victory valuable on the road to the Olympic Games.
