The Ethics Cup is open to all British schools. (For Northern Ireland, please see our sister event, The Future Ethicist Shield.)
The 2026 Ethics Cup will have a regionals-and-finals format. Every registered team will compete initially in a regional tournament, all of which will happen in December 2025 or January 2026. To determine which region your school is in, consult this map.
The Finals
Every regional tournament winner will progress to the finals at the University of St. Andrews, to be held on 28 April. In addition, the best-performing runner-up among large regionals (those with nine or more schools competing) will advance to the finals.
