2026 U.S. Drone Soccer National Championship Concludes in Florida

Cabrillo Flying Jags were crowned champions at the 2026 U.S. Drone Soccer National Championship, held on 18–19 May 2026 at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. The event brought together student teams from across the United States and highlighted the continued growth of drone soccer as a competitive and educational platform.

More than just a tournament, the championship showcased how drone soccer combines teamwork, strategy and technical skill. Students are not only required to compete in match play, but also to develop practical capabilities in areas such as drone operation, maintenance and problem-solving under pressure.

For organisations like DSNZ, the U.S. championship provides a strong example of how drone soccer can support structured student competition pathways while also promoting STEM learning, innovation and future-focused skills. As international interest continues to grow, events like this demonstrate the expanding role of drone soccer in education and youth development.
