What are UK Regionals?
The UK Regionals are a series of community-run tournaments throughout the UK, run by local TOs and Judges. We aim to bring the UK Netrunner community together through local, competitive events!

This year, the UK Regionals will be split across two quarters, the Q1 events will be held at:

• Shepherd's Bush (London) on 08/02/2025
• Bathgate (Scotland) on 22/02/2025
• Reading (South East England) on 08/03/2025
• Nottingham (The Midlands) on 15/03/2025
• Sheffield (Northern England) on 22/03/2025

In Q2, we hope to organise events in East Anglia, North West England, South West England, and on the South Coast. Details for these will be announced later in Q1.
