The World Championships of Warhammer – Here Are All the Ways to Qualify for a Place in Atlanta

WorldChamps Qualifiers May3 Masthead

The World Championships of Warhammer is the biggest competitive event of the year, and Warhammer players worldwide are even now taking part in events to secure one of the coveted tickets they require to test their mettle with the rest of the best. These global championships are the pinnacle of the game, and they will take place in Atlanta, GA between the 21st and the 24th of November this year.

More than 45 countries are currently represented by qualifying players, and there are still 600 spots available across Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Kill Team, and Warhammer Underworlds.

Larger tournaments like the London GT, America Team Championships, and the NOVA Open are all qualifying events, though winning at one of many smaller events will also net you a Golden Ticket – check out the list of qualifiers at the end of this article. 

Crucially, the three US Open events left this year will add two winners each from Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar and one each for Kill Team and Warhammer Underworlds.

The US Open at Dallas, TX, is also your first chance to see how the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar plays, and attendees will be able to catch a preview packed with scintillating new reveals on Thursday the 16th of May.

The US Open events in Tacoma, WA and Tampa Bay, FL will also be full of activities for tournament players and more casual attendees, with hobby classes, open gaming, a fully stocked Warhammer Store, and plenty more besides.

For those who love Warhammer but prefer a more narrative experience, turn your attention to the 2024 Warhammer 40,000 Grand Narrative. This event will take place alongside the World Championships of Warhammer in Atlanta.
