National Championships
Our pinnacle event of the year, has been awarded to Edmonton, AB for the 2027 edition and Ottawa, ON, for the 2028 edition. Both cities have much to offer our athletes and we are delighted to have two returning hosts for this competition.
Edmonton last hosted the National Championships in 2023. This was the first time Quadball Canada had been back out West in over 5 years. Their wealth of hosting experience and knowledge, combined with their community engagement and hospitality were exemplary and we are thrilled to return once again. This event will help prepare Edmonton, ahead of their hosting of the 2028 Quadball PANAMS, that were awarded to Canada by the IQA this past month.
Explore Edmonton is excited to welcome the 2027 Quadball Canada National Championships to Edmonton after five years!” said Cindy Medynski, Director of Sport and Culture Events, Explore Edmonton “Combining elements of rugby, dodgeball, and tag, the sport is sure to attract views who love fast-paced athleticism. This event is a strong example of how Explore Edmonton and event organizers enhance the visitor economy while delivering year-round experiences for residents and visitors alike.”

Ottawa is yet another exceptional hosting partner, who last experienced this event in 2025. It is the perfect destination meeting point for many local Ontario based teams. The city itself brings a wealth of hosting experience, logistical support and professionalism to the event. We cannot wait to see what Ottawa has in store for us once again.
“Ottawa Tourism looks forward to welcoming the 2028 Quadball Canada National Championships to Canada’s capital,” said Michael Crockatt, President and CEO of Ottawa Tourism. “National championships like this bring athletes, teams, and supporters from across the country, generating meaningful benefits for our visitor economy while showcasing Ottawa’s strength as an experienced and enjoyable host city.”
