The World Games are nearly here, and each day brings a whole new set of diverse competitions for Birmingham residents to take in with awe and wonder. The 2022 games can be bought individually or day passes can be purchased for $35 a day until June 30th. That’s a pretty great deal for the opportunity to view the world’s finest athletes in a medley of Artistic Sports, Ball Sports, Martial Arts, Precision Sports, Strength Sports, and Trend Sports. We break down what sports will be happening each day here. The Opening and Closing ceremonies are their own price range (along with some random sports and the occasional free competition), but will be a thrilling music celebration of the World Games. Here are some of the options you have for sports to take in on each day that pass is available.
