BWL reveals 2026 competition calendar!

British Weight Lifting (BWL) is pleased to announce the schedule of competitions for 2026.

Our overall vision is to continue with a three platform / two-day competition format where possible in the first instance. We believe this provides the optimal competition environment, noting our available resource of sport equipment, workforce, technical officials, and pool of possible venues.  

If we are unable to deliver this, we will look at three-day events by exception, and/or smaller venues and more competition dates to enable the same, or more, opportunity for our athletes.

The 2026 schedule will be kept on our Competition Calendar webpage, and can be viewed in it's entirety below:

Please note that some dates and venues remain subject to confirmation. In particular, we are still in the process of finalising arrangements for the 2026 British Championships, which may take place either in May or July subject to venue availability. Further details for our Regional Open events, English, and British Age Group Championships will be published in due course.
