Get ready, UK climbing fans. The landscape of competitive climbing is about to shift dramatically. We are thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new Professional Climbing League, set to debut in the heart of London on February 28, 2026.

Competitive climbing has seen explosive growth over the last decade, from local gyms to the Olympic stage. But this new league promises something different: a dedicated, high-stakes professional circuit designed specifically for maximum entertainment and athlete showcase.

A New Stage for the World's Best

While details on the full roster are still under wraps, the league promises to feature top-tier international talent alongside the UK's homegrown crushers. This isn't just another competition; it's a serialized professional sports league.

We can expect:

  • High-Production Value: Think big lights, massive crowds, and a polished broadcast experience meant to rival mainstream sports.
  • Innovative Formats: The league is expected to shake up traditional competition formats to keep the action fast-paced and viewer-friendly.
  • Real Stakes: With significant prize money on the line, the intensity will be unmatched.

Why London?

London has long been a powerhouse hub for the global climbing scene, boasting an incredibly dense concentration of world-class gyms and a passionate community. Choosing London for the inaugural launch event makes a massive statement about the league's ambitions.

The February 28th launch event in 2026 is expected to sell out quickly, turning the venue into a cauldron of noise and excitement as the world gets its first look at the future of our sport.
