The WFDF 2026 World Masters Ultimate Club Championships (WMUCC) concluded today in Nottingham, United Kingdom, after seven days of world-class Masters Ultimate featuring more than 4,400 participants, 150 teams from 27 countries across nine divisions. The championship welcomed significantly more teams and nations than the previous edition, in 2022, with participation more than doubling in both the number of teams and the number of countries represented compared to the 2018 World Masters Ultimate Club Championships.
The United States dominated the championship, claiming seven of the nine World Championship titles, while host nation Great Britain and Canada each celebrated memorable gold medal performances on Finals Weekend.
“WMUCC 2026 has demonstrated everything that makes Masters Ultimate so special: world-class competition, lifelong friendships, and an unwavering commitment to the Spirit of the Game. Congratulations to all of our World Champions and medalists, and thank you to UK Ultimate, the Local Organising Committee, our volunteers, officials, partners and every participant for making Nottingham the perfect venue to launch our Summer of Flying Disc. We now look forward to continuing the journey at the WFDF 2026 World Junior Ultimate Championships in Logroño, where the next generation of athletes will take centre stage.” said Jonathan Rigby, WFDF Secretary General.
“It has been a privilege to welcome the global Masters Ultimate community to the University of Nottingham for the WFDF 2026 World Masters Ultimate Club Championships. On behalf of the Local Organising Committee, I would like to thank all the athletes, volunteers, officials, partners and staff who made this championship possible. We hope everyone leaves Nottingham with great memories, and we look forward to welcoming the flying disc community back to the UK in the future.” Added Si Hill, CEO of UK Ultimate and LOC Tournament Director.
The championship reached its climax across the finals, split into two days.
