New England Premier Event

The very first Premier Event in the history of FIRST Tech Challenge!  Starting as the New England Invitational in 2024, this event brought FTC teams from all over the region to compete under the same roof for the first time, hosted at The Big E in Massachusetts. This success led to being invited to the first class of Premier Events, a new competition format for FTC. Our event in mid-April will be the first one to play DECODE at this level. This year, NE FIRST will welcome 56 teams to the New England Premier Event, competing in two FTC divisions of 28 teams each.
