The Wanda Diamond League has announced an increase in prize money for selected disciplines at its 2025 meetings in Eugene, Monaco, and London.
Under a new prize structure introduced for the 2025 series, each meeting will designate four “Diamond+ Disciplines” — two for men and two for women — which will feature elevated prize money. The maximum payout for individual athletes in these events will double, rising from $10,000 to $20,000.

Organizers of the July meetings have confirmed which disciplines will receive the enhanced payouts:
| Meeting | Diamond+ Disciplines |

The Wanda Diamond League will reveal the Diamond+ Disciplines for upcoming meetings in the coming weeks.
Record Prize Money in 2025
In total, the 2025 Wanda Diamond League season will see a record prize pot of $9.24 million, marking the highest payout in the history. Organizers have also emphasized that all prize money remains entirely gender-equal.
