World Triathlon and the Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) have jointly announced the launch of the Triathlon World Tour, set to begin in 2027. This initiative aims to unify the World Series, World Cups, and T100 events under a single brand and commercial structure, featuring nearly 100 annual events and live broadcasts. The new tour will feature two tiers: World Championship and Challenger, with the T100 becoming the T100 World Championship Series and the World Triathlon Championship Series becoming the T50 World Championship Series. The move, driven by the Deloitte Report's recommendations, seeks to enhance the sport's commercial appeal and visibility, with significant investment in audiovisual production. The 2026 season will serve as a transition year.

The Professional Triathletes Organisation and the Saudi Federation signed a memorandum of understanding to develop triathlon in Saudi Arabia.

The collaboration focuses on athlete development, content creation, and promoting the sport within the country, supported by World Triathlon.

Accusations of corruption and manipulation have resurfaced against World Triathlon following Antonio Arimany's election as president in October 2024. Peter McCrory of the Canadian Triathlon Federation filed a complaint with the World Triathlon Tribunal, alleging pressure on federations to vote according to predetermined lists. These accusations, similar to those previously published and repeated by the Danish Triathlon Federation, lack new evidence or legal credibility. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has not questioned the electoral process. The timing of these accusations, preceding the upcoming Congress in Wollongong, suggests internal political disputes. Critics question the legitimacy of Arimany's election victory, secured with 90 votes, and its potential impact on the federation's growth and the international triathlon community.

The ITA has sanctioned Canadian weightlifter Shania Sophia Bedward with a two-year ban, effective from 2024-09-19 to 2026-09-18, after she tested positive for modafinil metabolite at the 2024 Commonwealth Senior Weightlifting Championships. Her results from the start of the sanction have been disqualified. The ITA also provisionally suspended Portuguese triathlete Pedro Afonso Pinto Gaspar after an adverse analytical finding for mesterolone in a sample collected on 2025-06-29. Pinto Gaspar may request analysis of the B sample.

Triathlon Denmark's president Mads Freund has formally requested the World Triathlon Executive Board to clarify its relationship with SportsIN, citing concerns over media ties, leadership conduct, and transparency. The letter follows a prior statement by the Executive Board and highlights issues including SportsIN's access to privileged information, its favorable coverage of World Triathlon leadership, and the denial of Freund's entry to the 2024 Congress in Malta. Freund questions the impartiality of SportsIN, noting that George Yerolimpos, president of the Mediterranean Triathlon Federation, also serves as CEO of the outlet.
