About this Event
Now in its fourth year, the New York City Pinball Championships were created to return world-class championship pinball to the Big Apple for the first time since the 1990s, delivering on the promise to bring the greatest players on Earth to the Big Apple for historic, top-level competition. And now, NYCPC proudly joins the Stern Pro Circuit championship series, and adds a new novice division and free Sunday strikes tournament.
Located in the greatest city on Earth within walking distance of dozens of the world’s most popular tourist attractions, NYCPC is more than just a pinball tournament – it’s a vacation, pinball gaming convention, and a world-class sporting event tied together into one unforgettable package. NYCPC, the Empire State Building, the storied theaters of Broadway, the museums, the Coney Island Cyclone, and the Yankees; NYC is the home to some of the world’s greatest attractions, and we are proud to be a part of the city’s cultural fabric.
The tournament has proven an instant success, drawing over 150 players from around the globe to the inaugural edition in 2018, and nearly doubling in size in 2019. The tournament returned to Industry City in Brooklyn, NY in 2022 to great success and even more participants. Thousands of eSports fans from around the world tune in to watch the action via live stream annually. Big-time competitive pinball is back in a big way in the Big Apple.
In this short time, NYCPC has turned into one of the most popular and highest WPPR-valued (pinball ranking points) tournaments in the United States.
New for 2023: The “Another Bite at the Big Apple” free Sunday Strikes tournament, and a new novice division. For non-tournament players, a large free play bank of new pinball machines will be available for all day play. NYCPC has something for every fan of the silver ball, and players of all skill levels.
