About the event
FIFe World Show 2027 takes place at the PVA Expo Praha exhibition centre in Prague's Letňany district on 23 and 24 October. The show is the main event of the year for the international cat federation FIFe, and it returns to Czechia after 13 years. The 2026 world show was held in Amsterdam. Saturday is judging day and a gala dinner, Sunday is Best in Show.
The judges' list has 26 judges from ten countries. The organiser reserves the right to make changes, so the list may still change. The show hall is about 10,000 square metres and is also suitable for wheelchair users.
Entries open on 1 July 2027 and close on 23 September 2027. The show is open to cats of breeds fully recognised by FIFe and to household cats, if the owner belongs to a FIFe member organisation. Qualifying requirements vary by class and must be met during the 13 months before the show. International champions and higher titles meet them automatically.
Entering with a household cat requires one Best in Show nomination, unless the cat holds the DSM title. Qualification is confirmed by your national organisation or club. The organiser has reserved accommodation for exhibitors where you can stay with your cat. Visitor information and tickets will be published on the show's website when confirmed.
