Can We Just Come and Watch a Competition (and Not Compete?)

Yes. Spectators are very welcome. Please check the competition page to see if there is a charge for spectators. Most UK competitions are free to spectators (except the UK Championships).

Some parents find it helpful to bring their child to a competition to watch before they enter so that they understand what it will be like. But many of us didn’t do that and found competitions a very welcoming space.

There is an FAQ tab on the competition webpage on the World Cube Association (WCA)1 website, and this is where it will set out if there is a charge for spectators. See below image.
