Crufts is an international dog show organised and hosted by the Kennel Club.

Traditionally held in March each year at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, Crufts is officially the largest annual dog show in the world.

In 2026 it will take place between Thursday March 5 and Sunday March 13. The Best in Show winner is crowned on Sunday evening.

More than 18,600 dogs will strut their stuff with their owners hoping to win the coveted Best in Show prize.

Those who want to go need to buy tickets and only dogs invited by The Kennel Club and assistance dogs are allowed into the show itself.

Channel 4 will be covering Crufts again this year on TV with Claudia Winkleman joining the line-up along with Clare Balding, Ellie Simmonds and Radzi Chinyanganya.
