FAQs
How do I enter a show?
Head directly to the federations website to register for your chosen show.
How often do UK bodybuilding show dates change?
Show dates can change throughout the year due to venue availability or federation updates, though this is rare. We recommend checking the official federation website before entering or booking travel.
Which federations are included in this calendar?
This calendar includes all major UK bodybuilding federations. If a show is missing or has been updated, federations are encouraged to contact us directly.
When should I start planning for my 2026 show?
Most competitors begin planning 12–20 weeks out, depending on experience level. First-time competitors often need longer preparation with a coach. Once your show date is chosen, it’s a good idea to lock in prep timelines, posing, and key stage essentials early.
Should I compete in more than one show in a season?
Many competitors do multiple shows in a season, especially if dates fall close together. This is very individual and depends on recovery, budget, and competition goals.
Once you’ve chosen your show…
Once your show date is confirmed, it’s worth organising stage essentials early — especially during peak season — to avoid last-minute stress.
