Saunamasters, the Masters Freestyle Aufguss run by Kristall Bäder, pairs two sauna masters in the same sauna for a 15-minute, four-round battle. In the first two rounds each picks a song and both perform to it; in the third they build a routine together; in the fourth they freestyle to music they haven’t heard.
Schedule
- December 10 to 12, 2026: qualifier, Kristall Therme Ludwigsfelde, Germany
- January 22 to 24, 2027: qualifier, Thermen Soesterberg, Netherlands

Each qualifier has 16 places. The top two women and men go straight to the final; third and fourth places get a second chance at the playoffs. The final is held in the Herzogstand sauna at Kochel, which seats 300 around two illuminated heaters, with a wall of windows onto the Kochelsee.
