2026 FOCAL season

From Countdown

The 2026 FOCAL season is the ninth and current season of FOCAL tournaments. It is the second season under the chairmanship of George Armstrong.

Events

As ever, the season kicked off in Lincoln on the last weekend of January. London returned on 21 February. Upcoming confirmed events are the Rugby double-header (13 and 14 March), Monasteraden (11 April), Edinburgh (18 April), York (9 May), Tunbridge Wells (30 May), Liverpool (20 June), Oxford (11 July), and the Birmingham double-header (31 July and 1 August). Those in discussion and yet to be confirmed are (sorted alphabetically) Dublin, Durham, Reading, and Warrington. There are plans for the 2026 FOCAL finals to be moved from Milton Keynes for the first time since 2022, but this is yet to be determined.

So far, locations absent from this season will be Blackpool, Sheffield, Stockport, and Worcester; the former Blackpool slot will be occupied by Warrington, and Sheffield's by York.
