Championship of Champions XV ran from 2 January 2019 to 22 January 2019 just before the start of Series 80, with Zarte Siempre emerging victorious and becoming the first grand slam winner of Countdown since the Richard Whiteley era.
CoC XV was announced in summer 2018, with the draw being announced on c4c on 18th July 2018. Filming of the episodes took place from 1 to 3 October 2018. Similar to other CoC tournaments, it featured sixteen contestants, this time drawn from Series 73 through 78. Similar to Championship of Champions XIV, contestants from the most recent series were not invited, and instead will qualify for a potential CoC XVI.
The last quarter-final saw Siempre make history by setting the highest ever score in the history of Countdown at the time: 150. The match also saw Siempre and Tom Carey break the record for the highest aggregate score in a game of Countdown. Siempre's 150 score was eventually beaten a few months later by Elliott Mellor who scored 152 in his second heat game in May 2019.
