UKMT Junior Maths Challenge 2026
The UKMT Junior Maths Challenge (Junior Mathematical Challenge) will take place on
Wednesday 29th April 2026.
[Note: This Competition was originally pencilled in for Thursday 7th May, however, due to a clash with national examinations, in Summer 2025 it was moved forward to Wednesday 29th April 2026].
I’ve collected answers to all of the most common questions I’m asked by students, parents and teachers about the Junior Maths Challenge on the page here so take a look now and make sure you’re in the best position for the Junior Maths Challenge in 2026!
If you’re preparing for the JMC in 2026 or beyond you can also take an online course to prepare at the Mathsaurus courses website. There’s a very significant FREE course and an upgraded course as well as group tuition options via Zoom:
