National Bingo Week is returning for 2026, and clubs across the nation are busy preparing for a full week of special games, promotions and in-club entertainment.
Similar to National Bingo Week 2025 celebrations, this year, it will run from Monday 22 June to Sunday 28 June, with several clubs once again working together to celebrate one of the UK’s most-loved games.
Now in its sixth year, National Bingo Week has become a major fixture in the calendar. It gives clubs a chance to celebrate with their regular players, welcome new players, and demonstrate why the game is such a popular activity.
The sixth edition of the week will include charity games, value sessions, social media specials, and a guaranteed £250,000 National Bingo Game prize.
One of the main events will be the charity games taking place on Friday, 26 June.
Clubs across the country will hold special games to raise money for Variety – The Children’s Charity, which is the Bingo Association’s chosen charity. MPs will also be invited to attend local clubs and will have the chance to call the game. It is hoped that the charity game will raise more than £20,000. That money will add to the more than £2 million the industry has raised for good causes since 2015.
For many, the highlight of the week will be available on Sunday evening, 28 June, when a new increased prize of £250,000 will be guaranteed to be won in a participating National Bingo Game club.
The National Bingo Game, operated by the National Bingo Game Association, is already one of the most popular linked games in Britain, with clubs across the country taking part. For National Bingo Week, the guaranteed £250,000 prize means that for one lucky player, it will be a life-changing event.
There will also be value sessions during the week, but the exact offers will vary by club, so be sure to visit your local bingo hall to find out the details or have a look at its website.
According to the Bingo Association, the week will be supported by a huge media campaign. Social influencers from across the UK will visit local clubs, add to the atmosphere and share their experiences online.
With National Bingo Week now in its sixth year, the Bingo Association says the event has grown from an industry-wide moment into a nationwide celebration.
Nicole Garrett, chief executive at The Bingo Association, said:
“It’s fantastic to see National Bingo Week return for its sixth year. What started as an industry-wide moment has grown into a nationwide celebration of community, connection and great value entertainment.”
With charity games, club promotions, social competitions and a guaranteed £250,000 prize, National Bingo Week 2026 is set to be a truly memorable celebration of the game. Make sure that you make the most of it. Check what your local club has planned between 22 and 28 June, and if it is taking part in the National Bingo Game, Sunday evening could turn into a night you will never forget.
