Oxford
Hosted by OxHack Committee
OxHack 26 brings UK university students to Oxford for a free, student-led hackathon running from 24–25 October 2026. Over 24 hours, participants will turn ideas into working projects, meet fellow builders and experience the creative energy of collaborative problem-solving. Build, collaborate and experiment Organised by the OxHack Committee, the event welcomes participants from every degree programme, not only computer science, as well as both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is open to enrolled university students across the UK aged 18 or over, plus graduates who completed their studies within the past year. You can arrive with an idea and an established team, work independently, or meet potential collaborators during the team-building opportunities at the beginning of the event. Teams can include up to four people, making OxHack accessible whether you already have a group or are attending your first hackathon alone. The format centres on hands-on project building rather than passive talks: participants will collaborate intensively, develop their ideas and create something during the hackathon. The full programme has yet to be announced, but activities will be provided throughout the event. The OxHack website also displays a Major League Hacking 2026 Hackathon Season badge. Who should attend? OxHack 26 is designed for students who want to: - Put technical, creative or problem-solving skills into practice - Build a project within a focused hackathon environment - Meet students from other subjects and universities - Find teammates, exchange ideas and collaborate in a small group - Explore hackathons without paying an entry fee No pre-formed team is required, and the organisers explicitly welcome students from any academic discipline. Students based at universities outside the UK should contact committee@oxhack.net, as visa requirements may apply. Practical details Registration opens at 9:00am on Saturday 24 October, and the event is expected to finish by 4:30pm on Sunday 25 October 2026. Attendance is completely free, with the venue, activities, food and refreshments provided by the organisers. View the event and registration details
