It’s a case of ‘go, go, go’ for Under Pressure ‘26, which can now be confirmed for a fifth consecutive year in what promises to be the most exciting chapter to date.

What started as a simple idea to shine a spotlight on TPMS expertise has grown into something far bigger, with Under Pressure now established as the aftermarket’s leading celebration of Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) knowledge, diagnostics and technical excellence.

Each year, we bring together some of the most skilled technicians in the country and 2026 will be no different, as we reveal that we’re ready to do it all over again.

Under Pressure ’26 will once again welcome TPMS technicians from across the industry, challenging competitors to identify, diagnose and resolve real-world TPMS scenarios under pressure.

Incorporating three different categories (large retailer network, small retailer and under-23s), entries are officially open, with the qualifying rounds taking place on 19, 20 and 21 May, before the competition reaches its climax at the Grand Final on 24 June.

For the fourth consecutive year, the final will take place at the Pirelli Performance Centre in Burton upon Trent, which has become the perfect setting for the industry’s ultimate TPMS showdown.

Reaching a fifth year represents a significant milestone for the competition and for the industry support that has helped it flourish.

Managing Director Prashant Chopra said: “Reaching a fifth year is a huge moment for Under Pressure and for everyone who has supported the event along the way. What started as an embryonic idea to help upskill the industry has grown into something that we never could have imagined.

“Each year, the standard gets higher, the engagement gets stronger and the impact gets bigger. Under Pressure ’26 will be no different. We’re already working behind the scenes on new elements that will take the competition even further, and we’re extremely excited to share more details soon.”

“Over the past five years, Under Pressure has played an important role in our mission to ensure TPMS is recognised as a core aftermarket category, sitting alongside tyres, brakes and batteries.

“Just as importantly, it reflects our long-standing commitment to training, innovation and continuous improvement across the sector.”

And with exciting new developments already in the pipeline – alongside a strong line-up of returning sponsors – Under Pressure ’26 promises to be our biggest event yet.

We look forward to welcoming technicians from across the UK as we celebrate the skill, dedication and expertise that keeps drivers safe on the road.
