IAAF Wanda Diamond League is a track & field competition series that was launched in 2010. The main distinction from its predecessor, Golden League, is that Diamond League events take place in various continents.
Many of the disciplines in the Diamond League can be considered tougher than elite game finals. This is due to the country quotas of elite games, leaving out many hardcore African contestants from long-distance running events in elite games, for instance. In fact, highly competitive results are made in the Diamond League, especially in long-distance running. This is partly due to the fact that rabbits are used in the competitions, which is not done in elite games.

In the 2024 season the Diamond League includes 15 meetings on four continents (Europe, Asia, North America, Africa). The season is topped of with a final weekend in Brussels, Belgium, in mid September.
