Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson and Georgia Hunter-Bell will be among the athletics stars taking centre stage as Athlos touches down in London on Friday.

A sold-out StoneX Stadium plays host to the all-female event, which comes at the end of a fantastic track and field season.

Friday evening's schedule features seven events – 100m, 100m hurdles, 200m, 400m, 800, mile and the long jump – with six world-class athletes competing in each.

Hodgkinson stormed to 800m victory at the 2025 edition in New York and will hope to repeat her success after losing out to Audrey Werro at the European Championships and the Ultimate Championship in recent months.

Hunter-Bell finished behind her compatriot last year but will run in the mile at the London event, having won the Commonwealth Games 1500m gold earlier this summer.

It promises to be a fantastic evening, with some of the world's finest athletes on show, and UK fans can watch for free.

Radio Times brings you our guide to watching the Athlos 2026 on TV and online.
