The WSF Grand Nationals in Louisville, KY mark an early stop along the Varsity TV world tour that is the 2026-27 competitive cheer and dance season.

As many teams and athletes begin their season's story, they will make the trip to the most populous city in The Bluegrass State for a weekend of elite competition on December 4-6 at the Kentucky Expo Center.

As the first chance for teams to earn up to 600 points in The Varsity Cheer League, not to mention four paid bids to The Cheerleading Worlds, the stakes couldn't be higher.

In 2025, it was teams like GymTyme Illinois Fever, Central Jersey All Stars Team Gunz, ICE Lightning, and Rain Athletics Aqua that earned full paid bids to Cheer Worlds.

Who will it be this year? Tune in live on Varsity TV to find out, or follow the results once they become available.
