European Rowing Championships

The 2026 European Rowing Championships take place at Lake Varese in northern Italy from 31 July to 2 August. Lake Varese, at the foot of the Alps near the Swiss border, offers a 2,000-metre course that has hosted European and World Championships multiple times. The lake's sheltered position reduces crosswinds, though morning mist can delay early races in summer.

The European Championships feature Olympic-class events plus continental-only categories. For many nations, this is the last major international regatta before the World Championships in Amsterdam. What time does racing start? Heats begin at 09:00 CEST. Afternoon finals around 15:00 CEST translate to 14:00 BST in London, 09:00 EDT in New York, and 22:00 JST in Tokyo.
