About the National Beach Ultimate Championships
The National Beach Ultimate Championships is India's national championship in the 5-a-side beach format, open to club teams from any division.
Club teams affiliated with a state association can enter directly — there is no Ranking Series qualification for the beach format, keeping the event open to newer and smaller squads.
The qualified teams are divided into two groups for the Group Stage, played in a round-robin format. The top two teams from each group advance to the Final Round, played as a single combined standings pool before the semi-finals and final.
Anjuna Aces are the most recent champions of the National Beach Ultimate Championships, beating Goa Sandstorm in the 2026 final at home in Anjuna.
