Today’s programme features the absolute highlight of TSCHIO Aachen: the Rolex Grand Prix. Who will secure a spot on the legendary winners’ board?

What a finale! At 12:40 p.m., the first competitor will enter the arena for the prestigious Rolex Grand Prix. Excitement is guaranteed, because only the best riders of the TSCHIO Aachen 2026 have qualified for this historic competition—and they will give it their all. Why? This show jumping competition is not only one of the most demanding in the world, but it also offers a total prize money of 1.5 million euros.

 

At the same time, the Rolex Grand Prix is part of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping. This unique format links four of the world’s most important tournaments through a spectacular bonus system: the CHIO Aachen, the CSIO Spruce Meadows ‘Masters,’ the CHI Geneva, and The Dutch Masters. Whoever wins three of these tournaments in a row receives a bonus of 1 million euros in addition to the regular prize money. So far, only Scott Brash (GBR) has achieved this feat. In addition to the world No. 1 from Great Britain, this year’s field for the final round of this prestigious show jumping competition includes the current contender for the Rolex Grand Slam, Richard Vogel (GER), Britain’s Ben Maher, Switzerland’s Steve Guerdat, the two French riders Simon Delestre and Julien Epaillard, World Cup Final winner Kent Farrington (USA), and last year’s winner Martin Fuchs (SUI) all hope to have a significant say in the outcome. Get ready for a new, thrilling stage of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping—at TSCHIO Aachen 2026!
