This is the home for all information about the championship. Read about the venue, travel, tickets, policies, and much more.
To register in a given phase, you must qualify for at least one event by having achieved a strictly better result at a previous competition. If you currently don’t qualify for any events for an ongoing phase, you must wait until a later phase to register. You can only register for events that you already qualify for.
Additional events will not be added for you. If you register in phase 1 but have events that you only have a phase 3 qualification time for, you will have to manually add those events when phase 3 opens.
Similarly, you must manually add new events if you qualify for them after your initial registration. Once the results from that competition have been posted, you can add them to your registration on the register tab.
The final day to achieve results counting towards qualification for events is May 23rd 2027.
All phase opening and closing times occur at 15:00 CET.
An average result (except where single is explicitly stated), which is strictly better than the qualification result, is required to qualify.

Volunteers are what makes the MoYu WCA World Championship 2027 possible! We will require hundreds of stage volunteers (judges, runners, scramblers etc) for the competition to run efficiently, but there are also many other roles available.
Volunteers who submit their application before November 22nd and get accepted will receive the following perks:
- Priority registration
- You will have the chance to register early before the last phase of registration opens (between Phases 2 and 3).
- Note that using the (optional) priority registration path ties your registration to your volunteer duties, meaning that your volunteer duties can’t be cancelled unless you also cancel your registration.
- Discounted front-row spectator seating via a volunteer pre-sale expected to launch December 27th 2026. Links will be provided at a later date.
- Early access to hotel rooms in the Arena hotel (Arenahotellet) (hotel next to the venue)
All volunteer members will receive the following perks:
- Refunded registration fee (after the competition if you complete your tasks).
- Lunch for each day of the competition
- Fika & Snacks throughout the competition
- Volunteer t-shirts
See the competition website for more information about volunteering as well as application. Direct link to the application form here.
Volunteer applications close on March 31st, 2027.
