As one of London’s most popular charity events, the Ultimate News Quiz has raised over £2 million since it began in 2007.
The Ultimate News Quiz is back on Tuesday 10th March 2026, returning the iconic Guildhall in London!
The event invites a guest list of TV and News personalities to battle it out in a current affairs quiz. Previous years have seen famous faces including Louis Theroux, Grayson Perry, Dermot O'Leary, Vanessa Feltz, Louis Theroux, Dr Ranj Singh, Martin Lewis, Carol Vorderman, Piers Morgan, Susanna Reid and stars of ITV’s the Chase racing to be crowned champions.
Alongside teams such as BBC, ITV, This Morning, Good Morning Britain and Channels 4 and 5, we’ve also had renowned corporations with the likes of Netflix, Google, Amazon and Facebook in attendance.
Last year the Ultimate News Quiz raised a record breaking incredible £325,000 to support Action for Children.
LBC claimed the victory at the 2025 event. But it's all to play for when we return next year...
