One Big Thing: Welcome to World Championships Week
It’s a BIG week in the big world of equestrian sports as the 2026 FEI World Championships begin, officially, tomorrow in Aachen, Germany.
Our team is en route to the storied site of the 2006 World Equestrian Games and will begin our on-site coverage on Wednesday, when the eventers make their first appearances at their First Horse Inspection at 9:30 am local time (3:30 am EST).
Our Ultimate Guide to following along will be out tomorrow, and forthcoming will be our guide to the field contesting these Eventing World Championships. In the meantime, you can find a full schedule of programming here. The live stream is also viewable all week on ClipMyHorse.TV. A subscription is required to view this event live and on-demand, and you’ll be able to either log in with your existing credentials or choose a subscription option here.
Each day in News & Notes, we’ll lead off with a quick social media round-up as well as some tips for what’s on tap for the day at Aachen. And tomorrow, we’ll be dropping a brand new episode of The Go Eventing podcast with EN’s boots on the ground, Sally Spickard and Tilly Berendt. They’ll dive into the experience that is Aachen, take a deep dive into the history of World Championships at Aachen and much more. Stay tuned, and Go Eventing!
