| Phase | Starts | Ends | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 competitive year | — | — | Year-round indoor sport, so no hemisphere inversion. The 2026 competitive year runs from continental championships in April, through age-group World Championships in May and June, to the senior World Championships in late October and November. |

These come from a specialist secondary compiler rather than the IWF site and should be cross-checked against the IWF 2026 calendar before use, so no structured dates are asserted here. |

| Age-group World Championships block | — | — | Internationally, the IWF age-group World Championships anchor the youth calendar in May and June. |
