The British Judo Championships are held annually and feature various age and weight categories to determine the British champion.[1] The Championships are currently held at the English Institute of Sport, Sheffield.[2]

Until 2013, the Championships were held under the title of either the British Closed Championships or the British Senior Trials. In 2013, the British Closed Championships/Senior Trials were merged with the all-age British Championships. The 2020 Championship was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4]
