For the last three years Atlanta, Georgia in the USA has hosted the World Championships of Warhammer. It’s drawn hundreds of players from all over the world for a truly World Championship experience. Now, the World Championship of Warhammer is heading across the ocean to Barcelona to make it an international event!

Taking place from the 3rd to the 6th of December, the World Championships of Warhammer will be hosted at the Fira de Barcelona right in the heart of the city. It’s an even bigger event hall than we’ve used in the past, perfect for the biggest World Championships that we’ve ever hosted. We’ll be inviting more qualifiers than ever before, across Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Warhammer Underworlds, and Kill Team.

World Championship of Warhammer In Barcelona For 2026

It’s fitting that the event is being held in Spain as Team Spain tied for first place in last years event! So congrats to them and now it’s cool to see them get to show off their country and culture. Also getting around should be pretty easy for international travelers to get to as well. And the venue is a quick 20-minute train trip from the airport!

If you’re worried about Spanish you’ve got a year to brush up! But also the official language of the event, the announcements, and rules packs are all in English. This is to accommodate the largest number of players according to WarCom. That said it certainly wouldn’t hurt to pick up a few phrases to get around…

What About The Grand Narrative?

If you can’t travel to Spain this year but still need to get your Warhammer Event fix in then you can still head to the Grand Narrative. That event will be staying in Atlanta and at Warhammer World in 2026. There’s not a ton of info on that event yet but you can bet it’s going to be bigger and better than ever before!

I’ve always wanted to travel to Barcelona…Now I’ve got a really good excuse!
