Promo: National Civics Bee

Description: Fifty-two of the nation’s top middle school civics students will come
together in Washington, D.C. on October 14 for the third annual National Civics Bee
Championship — a fast-paced, live competition testing their knowledge of American
government, the Constitution and the civic challenges facing their communities.

Finalists from all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and American Samoa will compete for the national
title — and, for the first time, the championship will be televised and streamed live on C-SPAN,
bringing the excitement of the competition to a nationwide audience.

The 2026 National Civics Bee Championship, presented by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Foundation, will air Wednesday, October 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET and will be hosted by Emmy-
nominated actor and game show host Jerry O’Connell.

The live championship is the culmination of a nationwide competition that this year engaged
more than 20,000 students from 240 communities across the country. Students advanced
through rigorous local and state competitions organized in partnership with chambers of
commerce nationwide.
