The city of Koper, Slovenia, is scheduled to host the 30th edition of the sport climbing World Cup on September 4 and 5, 2026. This event represents the fifth time Koper has hosted the competition and is described as the largest sporting occasion in Slovenia for the year.

The climbing facility in Koper includes approximately 700 square meters of indoor surfaces and a 30-meter long, 18-meter high outdoor wall, accommodating bouldering, speed, and lead climbing disciplines. Organizing Committee President Alenka Žnidaršič Kranjc noted a desire to strengthen future financial support to match the larger budgets seen in neighboring countries.

Slovenian athletes are expected to feature prominently, including Janja Garnbret, who seeks her fourth victory at this venue following her 50th career World Cup win. Other notable competitors include Luka Potočar and several other Slovenian climbers. Historically, Slovenian participants have achieved 14 wins and 35 podium finishes across 92 appearances in the country.
