European Championships 2026: How to follow along!
It’s European Championships week and the 2026 edition of the event takes us back to Bascov, Pitesti, Romania, which was host for the World Championships back in 2021.
While our main team of 23 are travelling out either today or tomorrow, our incredible Masters team have already been competing over the last two days with great success. Three golds, one silver and one bronze have been won by the 20-strong team in the first two days of competition with the K2 events running tomorrow. We will of course hear more from a detailed write-up over the coming days but if you wish to follow along with the last day of the Master Championships, results can be found here. We wish the remaining paddlers racing the best of luck!
On Wednesday 24th June, the para racers will kick start the main Championships, which will continue until Sunday 28th June. Full schedule can be found below.
Start lists and live results for all events can be found here. Any live updates from our British team will be shared via our social media platforms as well.
All racing will be live streamed via either Paddle Europe Youtube Channel or Planet Canoe Youtube Channel. If streamed via the Planet Canoe Youtube Channel, you will need a channel membership to view. For information on how to set one up, you find all the information here.
