Dubai will host the 2026 UAE National Brewers Cup Championship from 13 to 15 February 2026 at Karam Coffee in the Al Quoz area, bringing together some of the country’s top competitors in specialty coffee.
The Specialty Coffee Association–UAE Chapter, the event organizer, has set participation requirements for residents: competitors must have lived in the UAE for at least two years, hold a valid UAE residence visa, be a member of the association, and pay a registration fee of AED 1,000.
The association also invited the UAE coffee community to get involved through volunteering or sponsorship. Three sponsorship tiers are available:

Through this championship, the association aims to strengthen the specialty coffee sector in the UAE and support related educational and research initiatives.
