Uttarakhand Chief Minister Championship Trophy

The Uttarakhand Chief Minister Championship Trophy 2026 is the state-level championship organised under Khel Mahakumbh 2026 by the Youth Welfare and Provincial Guard Dal Department, Uttarakhand. The competition provides a structured platform for young sportspersons to progress from local-level competitions to higher-level contests and finally compete at the state level. The 2026 programme covers multiple sporting disciplines and participant categories, including Under-14, Under-19, Women Open and Divyangjan categories.

Khel Mahakumbh 2026 follows a multi-level competition structure, beginning with the Nyaya Panchayat level and progressing through the Assembly Constituency and Parliamentary Constituency levels before reaching the Mukhyamantri Championship Trophy at the state level. The scheduled competitions are spread across September and October 2026, giving registered players an organised pathway to participate in competitions at progressively higher levels.

For the 2026 edition, the government has also revised the age calculation date to 1 April 2026. The state-level championship includes Under-14 and Under-19 boys and girls, Women Open participants, and Divyangjan participants in the prescribed categories. Players must satisfy the applicable age and participation conditions before taking part in the state-level competition.

Online registration has been carried out for players intending to participate in the Mukhyamantri Championship Trophy 2026. Where registrations exceed the prescribed number for particular sports, the department conducts selection trials at the district level. Registered players in the affected sports must contact the concerned District Youth Welfare Officer's office and participate in the selection process to progress towards the state-level competition. Along with this scheme, Sportspersons can also explore other Uttarakhand sports initiatives, including the Mukhyamantri Udayman Khiladi Unnayan Yojana and Mukhyamantri Khiladi Protsahan Yojana, for additional opportunities and support available to eligible players.

What is Uttarakhand CM Championship Trophy 2026?

The Mukhyamantri Championship Trophy is the state-level championship of Uttarakhand's Khel Mahakumbh. It brings selected sportspersons to the state-level platform for competitions in the sports disciplines notified by the department. Unlike the earlier local and constituency-level competitions, this stage focuses on identifying and competing among participants who qualify for the state-level contests.

The 2026 championship covers competitions across several sporting disciplines and provides separate participation categories according to the notified age group, gender and category. The state-level programme includes Under-14 boys and girls, Under-19 boys and girls, Women Open, and Divyangjan women and men. The official 2026 schedule also specifies different sports and events for these categories.

The championship therefore serves as the final state-level sporting platform within the Khel Mahakumbh competition structure. Players who reach this stage compete according to the rules, category and sport-specific arrangements prescribed by the Youth Welfare and Provincial Guard Dal Department.

How Does the Selection Process Work?

The Uttarakhand CM Trophy 2026 uses a selection-based process for state-level participation. Online registration allows eligible sportspersons to be considered for the competition, but registration alone does not confirm a player's selection for the state-level event.

Where the number of registered players or teams in a particular sport exceeds the prescribed limit, the department conducts selection trials at the district level. Registered participants in the concerned sports must contact the District Youth Welfare Officer's office and ensure their participation in the selection trial.

During the selection process, the department also checks whether registered players satisfy the applicable age criteria. Only players who meet the prescribed requirements can participate in the state-level competition. A player who becomes ineligible under the applicable age criteria may not receive the facilities permitted for state-level participation.

Therefore, participants should first complete the required registration and then follow the instructions issued by the concerned district authorities regarding trials and further selection. The selection arrangements can differ according to the sport and the number of registered participants.

2026 Selection Trials for Registered Players

The department has prescribed selection trials for registered players in certain sports for the Uttarakhand Mukhyamantri Championship Trophy 2026.

The July 2026 notice specifically covers selection trials for Hockey, Taekwondo, Handball, Basketball, Boxing, Baseball and Netball. The prescribed selection numbers vary by sport and participant category.

Registered players in the concerned sports should contact the District Youth Welfare Officer's office of their respective district and ensure their participation in the selection trial.
