World Championship Massage 2027

World Championship Massage 2027 – Competing In Person Or Online From Anywhere

World Championship Massage 2027 takes place from 2 to 4 July 2027 in Copenhagen, Denmark, organised by the International Massage Association. The championship runs as a hybrid event, with competitors free to take part physically in Copenhagen or to join remotely via a live Zoom stream, judged on equivalent terms alongside those competing on site. Entries close on 15 June 2027, ahead of the three days of competition that follow in early July.

The format allows massage therapists from around the world to represent their country in the Nations Tournament without needing to travel, while those competing in person follow the traditional in-venue format the championship has run in previous years. Online participants compete in a single category and cannot progress to the overall finals, though their scores still count towards their nation's tournament standing, keeping the competition genuinely international.

What's On At World Championship Massage

The programme centres on live massage treatments judged by an international panel, run simultaneously for in-person and online competitors across the three days. Alongside individual category judging, national teams compete in the Nations Tournament, giving the event both an individual and a country-versus-country dimension for entrants and spectators alike.

Who Should Attend

The championship is aimed at professional massage therapists and students looking to test their skills against international peers, whether travelling to Copenhagen or competing remotely from home. Massage schools, associations and industry press with an interest in competitive massage and international judging standards will also find the event worth following closely.
