Northeast Pinball Challenge is a collaboration of leagues at locations all over the Northeast. While the leagues are run and administered locally, the best players at each league are invited to participate in the NPC Team and Individual Finals to compete in glory not only for themselves — but for the locations that got them there!
Pay $30, play 7 weeks of pinball, compete for prizes at your location, and make the Grand Final to play in team and an IFPA-sanctioned final. All the details are on our info page!
Season Two
NPC Season Two starts the week of February 15th, 2026. Grand Finals will be at Capital Pinball in Concord, NH on May 2nd. Visit our location page for detail on each location and their league.

- A note on NPC Season Two and IFPA SanctioningI wanted to write a quick note to all NPC players ahead of Season 2 as it pertains to our leagues, Grand Finals, and the IFPA. In November, at a tournament in North Carolina, players were intimidated by bigoted location staff, hate crimed, and were unable to participate in a tournament many traveled a great distance to take part of. Due to IFPA’s mishandling of the situation and poor communication in their leadership, IFPA allowed the event’s ranking to stand despite banning the location from hosting tournaments for a minimum… Read more: A note on NPC Season Two and IFPA Sanctioning
