Scan upcoming competitions and filter by federation or date to build a clear meet season. Every listing includes dates, locations, and registration links so you can line up training blocks and travel without bouncing between sources.
Use the filters to narrow events by federation, month, or location. If you're building a competitive season, shortlist two to three target meets and keep backups in case dates shift. The calendar is updated regularly, but always confirm official meet pages for the latest details.
Compare federations to match rules and equipment divisions. USAPL (USA Powerlifting) follows IPF international rules with drug testing, while USPA (United States Powerlifting Association) offers raw and equipped divisions with flexible equipment rules. Other federations like APF, PA, and WRPF provide additional options for lifters at all levels.
Looking for context on rules, commands, and attempt strategy? Visit our What is Powerlifting? guide to understand federation expectations and meet-day flow before you compete.
