The 2023 Rogue Invitational is around the corner. It will take place in Texas, as usual, and begins on Thursday and goes through Sunday. Discover below how to watch the 2023 Rogue Invitational for free with its Livestream options and when to tune in.
Just like in previous years, Rogue Invitational will make one main Livestream available for free.

It’s called the Iron Game Premium viewing option (more details below).

Once purchased, you will have added 4 different streams to your arsenal: Iron Game Tailgate, drone cam, featured Athlete Cam, and wide cam.
The Iron Game Tailgate stream is hosted by Pat Sherwood and it will bring elite athletes (both CrossFit and Strongman) for a more informal style of conversation with personal insights and immediate reactions to what’s going down on the field as events are happening.
Some of the confirmed athletes that will take part are Mat Fraser, Rich Froning, Justin Medeiros, Katrin Davidsdottir, Annie Thorisdottir, Annie Sakamoto, Brian Friend, Hafthor Bjornsson and more.
“Get a bird’s-eye view from our drone cameras, jump to our Wide Cams for an all-seeing view, or watch our Featured Athlete Cam, tracking one competitor up-close and personal through each workout.”
