Details of British Taekwondo event sanctioning for 2026.
British Taekwondo clubs can now apply to host an event for the 2026 season, and play their part in celebrating both Kyorugi and Poomsae at grassroots level.
Club events are the heartbeat of the British Taekwondo calendar, and the places where passion, progress, and community come together to truly sustain and grow our sport from the ground up.
These events provide a vital platform for developing athletes, giving members the chance to test their skills, gain experience, and build confidence in a supportive and friendly environment. They’re also a celebration of the hard work and dedication that coaches, volunteers, referees, and families invest week in and week out to keep their clubs thriving.
Each event strengthens the fabric of our Taekwondo community; bringing clubs together, fostering friendships, and creating memories that last a lifetime. These are the people and places that make British Taekwondo so special. Every local event, no matter its size, contributes to the bigger picture, inspires the next generation, promotes inclusivity, and keeps our sport vibrant across the UK.
The event sanction application period for 2026 will open at midday on Monday 13th October 2025 and close at midday on Friday 31st October 2025. This sanction window is for Kyorugi and Poomsae events.
The sanction window allows event hosts to submit a sanction request to British Taekwondo for consideration in the 2026 event calendar.
All sanction requests received during this period will be considered in line with the updated 2026 Event Sanction Policy. British Taekwondo will notify successful applicants before publishing the official 2026 event calendar.
If there are any dates in 2026 that remain available after the event of the sanction period British Taekwondo may, in consultation with the Referee Departments, permit additional sanction requests.
