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.

About Northeast Pinball Challenge
Check out our league info page, or this short video below!
Just Play. Compete. Challenge.
Play!
Play at any of our Location Leagues — or as many as you like — all season long! All leagues are open to all players and will be submitted to the IFPA for state and global ranking points.
Compete!
Locations will run their own finals for leagues to determine a champion. There will be cash and prizes at all locations — many also hosting B-finals so everyone can participate!
Challenge!
The top 4 finishers from each local league will be invited to the NPC Finals, competing in a team event for their location, as well as an overall NPC Championship — with both events having prizes. The Individual Final will also be IFPA submitted for WPPRs!
