What is Challengers Cup?
This is the peak of competitive 40K! Clubs from around the country and the world will send 8 of their champions to compete and determine who is worthy of winning the Challengers Cup each year. This 8 person team event is entirely community-created and is the largest 8 person team event in the USA.

The event will take place with three days of gaming September 11th–13th 2026, at the Western Sports Park in beautiful Farmington, UT.
