The recurve line-up has therefore undergone several changes, but all-time great Brady Ellison will be in Mexico to defend his recurve men’s title after winning his sixth World Cup Final trophy in Nanjing 2025.
Sara Lopez, meanwhile, is back after missing last year’s Final and will be aiming to claim a record-extending 10th World Cup Final title.
Archers qualify for the season finale either by winning a stage of the circuit or by collecting enough points to finish among the top-ranked athletes in the World Cup Ranking. The four stages of the 2026 Hyundai Archery World Cup were held in Puebla (Mexico), Shanghai (China), Antalya (Türkiye) and Madrid (Spain).
The 2026 Hyundai Archery World Cup Final takes place on 12-13 September in Saltillo (Mexico). The match draw, which determines the quarterfinal brackets, is scheduled for Thursday 10 September.
