Each discipline will be featured at least four times and up to eight times throughout the season, providing ample opportunities for athletes worldwide to accumulate points.

Two meetings, the Meeting International Mohammed VI and the Wanda Diamond League Shanghai, will relocate to Marrakech and Suzhou, respectively, due to stadium renovation works in their usual locations.
