The CATAN Championship in the United Kingdom

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 5-6 June, 2027 at UK Games Expo in Birmingham.


The 2027 United Kingdom Champion will be invited to compete in the CATAN international program, specific details to be announced.

If you have any questions about CATAN Organized Play, please email op@catanstudio.com.

NOTE: All participants must be residents of the United Kingdom and be 18+ years of age by the date of Nationals. 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.
