On October 17, 2026, the first-ever IFPA Digital Pinball World Championship (IFPA-D1) brought together 24 qualified players at Pinball Expo 2026 in the Chicago area. Organized by the International Flipper Pinball Association (IFPA) in partnership with AtGames, this inaugural event marked an exciting milestone in competitive digital pinball.
Players went head-to-head in a live, single-elimination tournament, showcasing their skills, competitive spirit, and passion for pinball.
Congratulations to Ha Tran (MadBenHan), our first-ever IFPA (D1) Digital Pinball World Champion!
Beyond the competition, IFPA-D1 was about bringing the community together. Players who had competed against each other online finally had the opportunity to meet in person, share their passion, and create unforgettable memories.
Thank you to all 24 competitors for making history with us!
