Medals revealed for Birmingham 2026 European Athletics Championships

Birmingham 2026 organisers have unveiled the official championship medals for this summer’s European Athletics Championships.

More than 1,600 athletes from 48 nations will compete for glory in what marks the first time in the event’s 93-year history that the Championships will be staged in the UK.

The Championship medal features a clean, refined design, crafted from anodised aluminium with a brass centre plated in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.

The outer ring symbolises the amphitheatre of supporters inside Alexander Stadium, capturing the energy and atmosphere that surrounds the athletes on the track and field. The centre brand represents the few who will win the ultimate podium prize.

The reverse design brings together a collage inspired by Birmingham’s rich culture, heritage and iconic architecture - a tribute to the host city.

Europe’s biggest stars are expected to target Birmingham as a key moment in their 2026 summer ambitions, offering fans a truly unmissable chance to witness world-class performances on home soil.
