  Northern Bridge League 2026

The Northern Bridge League 2026
An opportunity to represent 

if you have received an invitation from the NEBA or if you would like to put yourself forward for selection for any of the Northern Bridge League matches of 2026,
please complete and submit the form below by the advertised deadline.

The matches will be played online on the RealBridge platform on:

- Saturday 11th July

- Saturday 15th August

- Saturday 12th September

- Saturday 17th October

For each match, the schedule will be:

- logon from 10:00 to sit at your home tables and test sound and vision work

- play 2x8 board matches from 10:30-about 12:30

- lunch break for 45 minutes

- play 3x8 board matches from 13:15-about 16:15

Up until now we have only entered a team in Division B but Marion would be delighted to enter teams in Div A or Div C. If you play in the ICL why not enter?

Division A will play with screens with verbal explanations of all calls to the opponent on your side of the screen(the only person you can see).

Division B & C will play without screens with alerts and announcements of partner`s calls as per Face-to-Face bridge.
