The American Royal World Series of BBQ is the largest BBQ competition in the world and serves as the largest fundraiser for the American Royal Association, a Kansas City based not-for-profit geared toward impacting the future of agriculture.

Health and safety is our top priority. At this time, we anticipate a contest similar to previous years, with modifications to ensure safety. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide contest updates, and safety requirements and/or suggestions via our social media accounts, website, and targeted emails throughout the planning process.

Did you know the BBQ Hall of Fame, the highest honor in the BBQ community, is part of the American Royal World Series of BBQ? The 2021 Class of the BBQ Hall of Fame will be announced on our website and our social media pages May 26th.

Tickets for the 2021 American Royal World Series of BBQ will go on sale Summer 2021.
