Four days of gravity-defying tricks, fierce competition, and pure BMX adrenaline

We’re thrilled to return from September 4 to 7, 2025, as title sponsor of Swatch Battle of Hastings in the UK, one of the biggest and most iconic BMX happenings in the world, and the ultimate celebration of BMX culture.

The unique event format allows team captains to pick three of their favorite riders to join their team and battle it out over the weekend for points. Multi-talented BMX rider and Swatch Proteam newcomer Kevin Peraza will be one of the captains leading the charge at this year’s event. The top five teams will advance to the Finals on Sunday, September 7, to see who will be crowned champions.

Swatch Battle of Hastings takes place at Source Park, the world’s largest underground bike and skate park. But the action doesn’t stop there. Outside Source Park, more adrenaline-pumping moments will be happening on the beach. This includes the brand-new Swatch Beach Jam, created with input from Swatch Proteam athletes, which will be three times larger than in previous years.

For the first time ever, the event will also feature the Swatch Flatland Battle, held at the iconic Henry Ward Hall on Saturday, September 6. Fans can see BMX flatland legend and Swatch Proteam athlete Matthias Dandois host the contest, followed by a party to keep the energy high.

The entire Swatch Battle of Hastings will be live-streamed globally, ensuring everyone can be part of this epic showdown—no matter where they are.
