The final 20 teams competing at ScaffChamp powered by Layher 2026 have been confirmed, with the last place secured after a qualification event in Hungary.

Stabil Epito claimed the final spot on 28 March, completing the line-up for this year’s competition. The Hungarian team is already familiar with the event, having finished third in 2025.

The competition is set to take place in June with organisers expected to host the event in front of an international audience of contractors, suppliers and industry stakeholders.

The 2026 edition will again bring together teams from across Europe, Asia, North America and South America, underlining the competition’s international reach.

European teams make up the majority of the field, with entries from countries including the UK, Germany, Poland and Italy. Among them is AK Scaffolding, representing the United Kingdom, alongside A-TEAM, a group of apprentices representing Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Teams from outside Europe include Mongolia’s Team NBIK, Canada’s Échafaudage Vermeren, and TALIM from Peru.

ScaffChamp has grown in recent years into one of the most recognised competitive events in the scaffolding sector, testing teams on speed, accuracy and safety in scaffold assembly and dismantling.

A full list of participating teams, including profiles and contact details, has been published on the official ScaffChamp 2026 team page.
