The Flagship Weekend
This is the main Universe Allstar Championships: the end-of-season destination for the allstar field, not a side event.
The main championship
The Destination Championship at the Oceanfront
May 14, 15, and 16, 2027 at Virginia Beach Sports Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The flagship Universe Allstar Championships weekend is a full allstar destination event: premium production, a unified scoring system, and a coastal city built for athletes, coaches, and families.
Oceanfront Production
Lighting, staging, sound, and show flow designed to match elite allstar performance inside a purpose-built sports venue.
Unified Scoring System
A unified scoring system lets teams bring routines from multiple industry governing score sheets, so coaches can prepare one routine for the championship pathway.
A City That Can Host a Championship
Virginia Beach gives families a beach, boardwalk, parks, and attractions around the same weekend they come to compete.

Opening Night
Opening Party & Concert
The championship weekend starts with a first-night party for athletes, families, coaches, and gyms. A live concert featuring a headlining artist, to be announced, happens when everyone is still in town and ready to be there together.
Championship Awards
Awards Ceremony
Awards are worthy of the Universe champion title, and are presented on the last day of the championship at the division level.
Virginia Beach
Compete at the Sports Center. Spend the Weekend at the Beach.
Virginia Beach is a coastal destination with a 3-mile boardwalk, the oceanfront resort area, and family attractions close to the venue. The championship is the reason to travel. The city is why families will want to stay.
The Beach and Boardwalk
The oceanfront and boardwalk are the easy after-session reset: sand, restaurants, and a place for athletes and siblings to be outside.
