Join us live on Saturday 11 May at 8.25 AM for day one of the competition on Whakaata Māori and the livestream on MĀORI+. Day two’s live broadcast commences at 8.55 AM Sunday 12 May.

‍

In this, the final regional competition, twenty three teams will compete in front of thousands of passionate supporters to find the top six teams to go forward to compete at Te Matatini 2025 in Taranaki.

‍

Some well-known and long-established kapa are in the line up, but no places are guaranteed and anything can happen on the day. What is certain is that kaihaka from kapa across the region will be doing their best to secure a spot in the final six.
