The WikiCup is a championship that has taken place every year on Wikipedia since 2007. The Cup is played and won by skill of editing. The purpose of the Cup is to encourage content creation and improvement and make editing on Wikipedia more fun. Contestants may earn "round points" by submitting quality content, Main Page content, or quality-content reviews.

The 2026 WikiCup began on 1 January 2026 and anyone interested in taking part can sign up here. After you sign up, please allow up to one day for your submissions subpage to be created. During the 2026 WikiCup, signups will continue throughout the year, and the lowest-scoring contestants will not be eliminated between rounds. The top 16 scorers in each round will receive a number of tournament points.

If you are interested in following the WikiCup but do not wish to take part, please add your name to the WikiCup newsletter's subscriber list at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. The judges will add all contestants' names to the subscriber list as well, unless contestants wish to opt out.

The timetable for the contest is as follows (please note that round points are reset to zero after the end of each round):

• January 1 to February 26 – Round 1.
• March 1 to April 28 – Round 2.
• May 1 to June 28 – Round 3.
• July 1 to August 29 – Round 4.
• September 1 to October 31 – Round 5; the contestant with the highest tournament-point score will win!

For the full rules clarifying what round points can be awarded for, see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. However, the spirit of the rules is more important than the letter, and the judges reserve the right to deny points to anyone deemed to be abusing the system, as well as remove persistently problematic users from the competition. If you believe one of the contestants is abusing the spirit of the rules, intentionally submitting subpar articles with the aim of getting more WikiCup points, or anything similar, please contact one or more of the judges. They will look into the matter and take action if necessary. The judges for the WikiCup are Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email).
