171st Contest

Brass Band Treize Etoiles return as defending champions. As they were also European Champions in 2024, the invitation was extended to Eikanger-Bjørsvik Musikklag as the second highest placed European (non-UK), but they declined the invitation.

The highest placed English band will Qualify for EBBC 2027 (Montreux).
