The UK Open Blitz Championship 2025 starts with 16 qualifier events dotted around England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, in 14 locations with London holding three events and the others one each. The first is a London event held on 30th August, but the remainder are held in September. Each event yields one qualifier for the 16-player all-play-all final to be held on 22nd November 2025 at Woodland Grange, Leamington Spa. Qualifier events start at 11.00 a.m. unless otherwise specified. It seems you may enter more than one qualifier event (if on different days!).
