2026 World U20 Track and Field Championships: How to watch, schedule, USA roster

The World U20 Track and Field Championships air live on Peacock from Wednesday through Sunday.

The meet at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon marks the first time the U.S. is hosting since 2014, when the old Hayward Field was the venue.

The U.S. roster includes Quincy Wilson, who in 2024 became the youngest male Olympic track and field medalist with 4x400m relay gold at 16.

Plus Tate Taylor, who at the July 4 Pre Classic in Eugene won the 200m over Olympic gold medalist Letsile Tebogo of Botswana.

Taylor, 18, ran 19.75 seconds into a .9 meter-per-second headwind at Pre. The only teenagers to ever run faster were American Erriyon Knighton (19.49 at age 18) and Australian Gout Gout (19.67 at 18).

Past U20 world champions include Usain Bolt (200m in 2002 at age 15), Noah Lyles (100m in 2016) and Mondo Duplantis (pole vault in 2018).
