SKA members can start making plans now — the 2026 SKA National Championship Powered by Yamaha will be held November 18-22, 2026 in Beaufort, North Carolina, with tournament headquarters and weigh-ins at Town Creek Marina!

Each season, the SKA National Championship brings together the top qualifying teams from across all divisions to compete for national titles and championship bragging rights. It’s the culmination of a full year of SKA competition and one of the most anticipated events on the King Mackerel tournament calendar.

Beaufort, on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast, has long been known for excellent king mackerel fishing, making it a fitting location for the SKA’s premier event. Town Creek Marina, located along the historic Beaufort waterfront, will provide a central hub for teams, families, and fans throughout championship week.

This year’s championship, Powered by Yamaha, promises another exciting showdown among the SKA’s best anglers as they compete for the opportunity to be crowned SKA National Champion.

Additional details, including event schedule, registration information, and member activities, will be announced as the tournament trail season unfolds.

We look forward to seeing you in Beaufort for the 2026 SKA National Championship Powered by Yamaha!
