Our United Kingdom tournament consists of local qualifying tournaments that take place year-round. The winners of each of the tournaments win a seat at the CATAN United Kingdom National Championship, which is held in late May or early June at the U.K. Games Expo in Birmingham. Players will face off against all other winners of the Qualifier tournaments to become the year’s Catan United Kingdom Champion.

The next United Kingdom National Championship will take place 31 May – 2 June, 2024 at UK Games Expo in Birmingham.

Qualified players will receive email communication from Organized Play with instructions regarding their attendance at UKGE. 

Every two years the Champions are sent to the CATAN World Championship tournament. The next CATAN World Championship will take place in 2025. The United Kingdom champion will also compete in the European Championship, taking place in the off-years from the World Championship.

You should be able to prove residency with an official ID card and/or a piece of mail (such as a utility bill) sent to a United Kingdom residential address. Winners of current season Qualifier Tournaments are not allowed to play in additional Qualifier events leading up to the next National Championship.
