Show jumping calendar 2027: UK and international dates
The big 2027 show jumping fixtures month by month, with the dates organisers have published so far and a plain note where they haven't.
We checked every date below against the organiser's own site or the FEI on 4 November 2026. We'll update this post each quarter as more dates land. Anything marked TBC hasn't been announced yet, so we give the usual timing instead of guessing. Always confirm on the official site before you book travel or enter. British Showjumping marks its own winter dates as provisional and subject to change.
If you're looking back at this year, our 2026 show jumping events calendar covers the fixtures that are still to run.

January to March 2027: the indoor season
The Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Western European League runs through the winter. These are the 2027 legs, all CSI5*-W indoor shows:
| Fixture | Dates | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Basel, Switzerland | 6 to 10 January | Confirmed (FEI) |
| Leipzig, Germany | 13 to 17 January | Confirmed (FEI) |
| Amsterdam, Netherlands | 28 to 31 January | Confirmed (FEI) |
| Bordeaux, France | 4 to 7 February | Confirmed (FEI) |
| Helsinki, Finland | 4 to 7 March | Confirmed (FEI) |
| World Cup Final, Gothenburg, Sweden | 24 to 28 March | Confirmed (FEI) |
Gothenburg hosted the very first World Cup Final in 1979, so the 2027 Final is a return to where the series started.
Basel dates follow the FEI calendar (6 to 10 January). An FEI press kit listed 7 to 10 January; we will recheck at the next quarterly update.
At home, the British Showjumping Winter Classics carry on into the new year:
| Fixture | Dates | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Winter Classic, Kelsall Hill | 14 to 17 January | Provisional (BS) |
| Winter Classic, Addington | 21 to 24 January | Provisional (BS) |
| Winter Classic, South View | 18 to 21 February | Provisional (BS) |
| British Showjumping Winter Championships, Arena UK | 17 to 21 March | Provisional (BS) |
| Pony of the Year Show, Arena UK | 24 to 28 March | Provisional (BS) |
British Showjumping also lists one more Winter Classic as TBC for both date and venue.
April and May 2027: spring championships and the first big outdoor show
| Fixture | Dates | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Chip Championships | 31 March to 4 April | Provisional (BS) |
| BRC Winter Show Jumping Championships, Arena UK | 3 to 4 April | Confirmed (BHS) |

Royal Windsor is the first major outdoor international of the UK season, held in the private grounds of Windsor Castle and finishing with the Rolex Grand Prix on the Sunday.
June and July 2027: Hickstead, Aachen and the summer peak
| Fixture | Dates | Status |

| Royal Highland Show, Ingliston | 17 to 20 June | Confirmed |
| Al Shira'aa Hickstead Derby Meeting | 24 to 27 June | Confirmed |

| Al Shira'aa Bolesworth International | 30 June to 4 July | Confirmed |
| Agria Royal International Horse Show, Hickstead | 27 July to 1 August | Confirmed |
The Derby Meeting and the Royal International are Hickstead's two big weeks. Our Hickstead fences explained guide covers the Derby Bank and what designers can take from it. Aachen's 2027 programme lists the Nations Cup on Thursday 1 July and the Rolex Grand Prix on Sunday 4 July. Bolesworth says it's moving to a new one week format for 2027.
August and September 2027
| Fixture | Dates | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Gallagher Dublin Horse Show, RDS | 4 to 8 August | Confirmed |
| British Showjumping National Championships, Stoneleigh | TBC, usually early August | TBC |
| Hurst National Schools Jumping Championships, Hickstead | 31 August | Confirmed |
| All England September Tour, Hickstead | 1 to 5 and 8 to 12 September | Confirmed |
| Spruce Meadows Masters, Calgary | TBC, usually early to mid September | TBC |
The 2027 National Championships dates aren't out yet. In 2026 they ran over six days at Stoneleigh Park in early August, with national titles and HOYS wildcards on offer, so expect a similar slot.
October to December 2027: the indoor season returns
| Fixture | Dates | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Horse of the Year Show, NEC Birmingham | 6 to 10 October | Confirmed |
| 2027/28 World Cup Western European League | TBC, usually October to March | TBC |
| London International Horse Show, ExCeL | TBC, usually mid to late December | TBC |
HOYS is the target for most British riders chasing a season-long qualifier. The 2027/28 World Cup calendar usually appears early in the year, and we'll add it in a quarterly update.
Plan your club's winter and spring fixtures
If you run a riding club, pony club or yard show, the calendar above is a clash checker as much as a viewing guide. A few things that help:
- Pencil in around the big weekends. Your members will want to watch the World Cup Final (24 to 28 March) and may be competing at the Winter Championships (17 to 21 March) or the BRC Winter Show Jumping Championships (3 to 4 April). A local show those weekends will have thin entries.
- Check your county. Search the British Showjumping show calendar by area before you fix a date, so you aren't up against an affiliated show down the road.
- Run a league, not a one-off. A monthly winter league gives riders a reason to come back. Our guide to running a winter show jumping league covers points, rounds and a final.
- Plan the courses early. Sketch each round in the course designer so the build crew knows the plan before show day. It's a planning aid for your own shows, not an official course approval.
When your dates are fixed, the show organiser tools handle online entries, running orders and live results. Open shows appear on the YardForge Events board. Free during beta. Nothing is on sale yet.
