General Info
This is the VEX Robotics Competition UK National Championships (Middle School) 2027 for the Override season!
The VEX Robotics UK National Championship will take place 26th February through to 1st March at the Telford International Centre, Telford - birthplace of the first Industrial Revolution. The annual event brings together the top VEX IQ Robotics Competition and VEX V5 Robotics Competition teams from across the UK to celebrate their accomplishments and participate in the 2026-2027 games to be crowned National Champions.
VEX V5 teams will compete in the exciting 2026-2027 game Override to earn a spot at the VEX Robotics World Championships.
Qualification events are running across the country until mid-February. World Championship spots will be allocated per the Global Robotics & Science Foundation Event Qualifying Criteria. We will soon find out how many spots the United Kingdom has for the World Championships (as per Qualifying Criteria).
Event spots will begin to be filled from the Wait List and the National Skills Standings sometime in February. Ahead of that time, we can't confirm how many spots will be allocated from either as it will be determined by the number of open spots and invites at the time. Preference on the Wait List will be given to organisations that do not have teams already at the event, based on the number of events they have attended in the season.
Teams will receive further information and details around the event as and when they qualify as well as updates when the event gets close.
