SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE PINBALL CHAMPS 2026

The 2026 Southern Hemisphere Pinball ChampionshipsÂ

Pinball Circuit.
This means it's a part of an overall series of selected pinball events across Australia and New Zealand. Player performance in any of these designated events will contribute to their overall circuit based ranking, with the top 64 players invited to the Circuit Championship in Brisbane, mid 2027.Â
​
Thanks to the kind sponsorship of Amusement Machine Distributors and Pinball NZ - Sales / Spares / Service, any players who participate in specific circuit events will go into the draw to win a new in-box Stern pinball machine.* How awesome is that?!
