Including promotional fees for top athletes, a total of around 18 million USD will be paid to athletes over the course of the series 16th season in 2025, with many more millions being invested in athlete services  such as travel and transport, accommodation and medical and physio provision.

Prize money is entirely gender-equal, with exactly the same rates for male and female athletes. The 2025 increase will also apply to all 32 Diamond Disciplines, benefitting athletes across the full diversity of track and field. 

Diamond+ Disciplines

In 2025, each Wanda Diamond League meeting will select a number Diamond+ Disciplines in which athletes are paid higher levels of prize money.

There will be four Diamond+ Disciplines at each series meeting and eight at the Wanda Diamond League Final at Weltklasse Zürich.
