Diamond League

The Diamond League has unveiled a recalibrated prize money framework for the 2026 season, maintaining its total purse at USD 9.24 million (approximately Rs. 770 million) while expanding high-reward opportunities across disciplines. Central to the reform is the doubling of ‘Diamond+’ events at each meet, a move aimed at distributing financial incentives more equitably among athletes. The restructuring reflects a broader shift toward inclusivity, competitive balance, and sustainable sports economics.
