Get the scoop on the 2025 US Open Series and why it’s shrinking, tournament dates, exclusive goodies, and the road to Atlanta’s World Championships of Warhammer.
Games Workshop’s US Open Warhammer Tournaments are slimming down for 2025, and the change has everyone talking. With fewer stops on the tour, the series is honing its focus on quality over quantity—making each event a must-attend for players and hobby fans alike.
From jam-packed tournaments in Dallas and Tacoma to the grand finale in Atlanta, this year’s lineup promises high-stakes battles, exclusive event goodies, and plenty of surprises. We’ll break down the dates, the swag, and why the smaller calendar might actually be a win for the Warhammer community.
Warhammer US Open Series 2025: The Must-Know Details
The US Open Series is back for 2025, and there’s plenty to get excited about. From thrilling Warhammer 40k tournaments to community-focused activities, Games Workshop has crafted an event calendar that’s compact and streamlined. Let’s break it all down and highlight what you need to know.
The US Open Series: Smaller and Strategic
This year’s US Open Series is focusing on fewer locations, but that might just make for a more polished experience. The Florida event is out of the picture after last year’s hurricane disruption, and the series now centers on two key stops:
- Dallas, TX: May 22–25
- Tacoma, WA: July 17–20
These two events lead to the World Championships of Warhammer in Atlanta, GA from November 6–9, where the best players will clash for ultimate glory. Each stop promises the usual tournament magic, with Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Kill Team, and Underworlds taking center stage. Plus, expect some surprises at select events!
Why the US Open Series Still Matters
Let’s be honest—tournament weekends are about more than just competition. Games Workshop knows this, and they’re doubling down on making these events unforgettable for players and hobbyists alike. Here’s what to look forward to:
- Expansive Tournament Space: Tickets sell fast, so they’ve added more room to accommodate eager attendees. Expect updated game formats and terrain layouts designed to keep matches challenging and fair.
- Beyond the Games: This year, it’s not just about rolling dice. You’ll find board and video game rooms, painting competitions, and evening gaming activities to keep the good times rolling.
- Exclusive Goodies: The event store is bringing Forge World kits, commemorative miniatures, faction-specific objective mats, and more. Attendees also receive a gift box filled with gaming aids, tokens, and collectible items.
Mark Your Calendar: Tickets Drop March 1st
Want to grab a spot? Tickets for all three major events go live on Saturday, March 1st, at 1 PM EDT. With the popularity of previous years, expect them to sell out quickly—don’t sleep on this.
Atlanta Awaits: The World Championships of Warhammer
The series culminates in Atlanta, where the winners of the Dallas and Tacoma tournaments will battle it out. But even if you’re not competing, the event promises an incredible atmosphere. Imagine the energy of top-tier players, a sea of gorgeously painted miniatures, and a crowd of fans cheering on their favorites.
Wrapping Up the US Open for 2025
The US Open Series is evolving. By focusing on fewer, well-executed events, Games Workshop is creating a higher-quality experience for attendees. Whether you’re a competitive player aiming for the World Championships or someone looking to enjoy a weekend of hobby fun, there’s something here for you.
So, mark those dates, prep your armies, and set your alarms for March 1st. The Warhammer US Open Series 2025 is shaping up to be a highlight of the gaming calendar—and you won’t want to miss it!
