The Hauts-de-France Judo Regional Team Juniors Championship is set to take place on April 25, 2026, at the Gymnase des 4 Chênes in Amiens, France. This competition brings together junior male and female judoka from across the region in a team-based format, with qualification spots for the national championship on the line.
According to verified event listings from the Hauts-de-France Judo federation, the championship will begin with team weigh-ins scheduled between 2:00 p.m. And 2:30 p.m. Local time on the day of competition.

Male athletes are divided into the –60kg, –66kg, –73kg, –81kg, and +81kg categories. These weight classes align with standard junior international judo standards.
Qualification for the Championnat de France par Équipes Juniors is at stake, with the top three finishing teams earning berths to the national championship scheduled for May 24, 2026. A barrage match may be held to determine the final qualifier if needed, adding competitive urgency to the event.
