Championship of Champions XIV
Championship of Champions XIV will be the next Championship of Champions tournament, as well as the first since 2009. It is scheduled to be transmitted from 4 to 22 January 2016, occupying the first three weeks of Series 74.
CoC XIV's existence was announced on the C4Countdown forums on the evening of 31 July 2014 with initial plans for a January 2015 transmission date. However, it was later postponed to make way for the special episodes at the end of Series 71, and a transmission at the start of Series 72 was also infeasible due to frequent horse racing coverage in the summer.
CoC XIV is to feature sixteen top players drawn from Series 67 through 72. Series 73 finalists will not be participating because the championship was filmed too soon after the Series 73 finals.
All sixteen participants in CoC XIV are – or have recently been – practising Apterites. Fifteen are also octochamps (the only exception being Callum Todd). Despite this, however, only one of the entrants, Giles Hutchings, has never been defeated, largely on account of many recent series winners having previously competed and later being asked to return to the show.
Planned Pairings
The bracket structure and planned first-round pairings for this Championship of Champions were announced on C4Countdown on 7 September 2015. They run as follows:
Tom Cappleman (72) vs Glen Webb (69) | |||

Andy Platt (68) vs David Barnard (67) | |||

Callum Todd (69) vs Samir Pilica (70) | |||
Dan McColm (71) vs Paul James (67) | |||
Antoinette Ryan (71) vs Mark Murray (70) |
The numbers refer to the series in which each contestant originally played in the finals.
