California Districts
In California, FIRST Robotics Competition is officially moving to the District model in 2026.
We hope you’re just as excited as we are to make this a reality!
Change always comes with challenges and trade-offs, and we recognize that this transition will take work. We’re committed to addressing any hurdles and mitigating the downsides, because we truly believe the benefits of the District model—more play time, lower costs, and a stronger local community—will make it all worthwhile

State of the State call – 2/5 @ 6pm
Over the past year, FIRST California has experienced many significant changes, making it the perfect time to come together for another State of the State call. We have welcomed a new Regional Director in Southern California and seen a leadership transition in Northern California. Additionally, we have expanded with new Regional events and launched some pilot programs to enhance the experience for teams and volunteers.
We invite you to join us for a State of the State call on Wednesday, February 5, at 6 PM, where we will provide updates, share insights, and discuss what lies ahead. This is a great opportunity to reconnect, ask questions, and collaborate as we continue to grow and strengthen FIRST in California.
