The 2026 European Fencing Championships were held from 15 to 21 June 2025 in Antony, France.[1]
Change of host
In January 2026, Estonia lost the hosting rights for the 2026 European Fencing Championships after refusing to guarantee entry visas for Russian and Belarusian athletes competing under the International Fencing Federation's neutral-athlete regulations.[2] The championships had originally been awarded to Tallinn, but the FIE reassigned the event to Antony, France, after Estonian authorities maintained that athletes from Russia and Belarus would not be granted visas.[3] The decision followed the FIE's relaxation of eligibility requirements for neutral athletes from Russia and Belarus in late 2025.[4]
