A complete list of the qualified bodybuilders for the 2027 Mr. Olympia.
The road to the 2027 Olympia is officially underway. Following the conclusion of the 2026 Olympia, athletes across all 12 divisions have already begun punching their tickets to bodybuilding’s biggest event.
The qualification period for the 2027 Olympia began on Aug. 31, 2026 and will run through Sept. 12, 2027. The IFBB Pro League will once again use different qualification systems depending on the division, with points playing a major role in Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Bikini, Wellness, and Wheelchair.
There are also some notable changes from last season. Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Bikini, and Wellness will now send the top 20 athletes in the point standings to the Olympia, down from 25 in 2026. Wheelchair will qualify the top three athletes through points, down from five.
In this post, we share the IFBB Pro League’s full qualification rules for the 2027 Olympia along with the athletes who have officially qualified so far.
