Dear WCA Community,

The WCA Board together with the Major Championships Team (WMCT) is thrilled to officially announce that Uppsala, Sweden has been selected as the host city of the 2027 WCA World Championship.

The selection of Uppsala follows the highly successful Rubik’s WCA World Championship 2025 held in Seattle and marks a return to Europe for the WCA’s premier event, the first time since Paris hosted the Championship in 2017.

Sweden’s Regional Organization, SveKub, in collaboration with the WMCT, is committed to ensuring that the 2027 WCA World Championship reflects the spirit and talent within the speedcubing community. A WCA World Championship is a global gathering that unites our community as well as an opportunity to see the world’s best speedcubers compete and to crown the World Champions across all 17 official WCA events.

The Board and WMCT are looking forward to working with SveKub over the coming 24 months of intense preparation for the World Championships.

WMCT is happy to share that applications will soon open for all of the remaining 2026 Continental Championships.
