PCA UK Open 2026 Results: Derby Overall Winners, Classes & Pro Card Update
New PCA UK Open 2026 results from Derby: overall champions Lewis Emmanuell and Omkar Singh, key class winners and a careful note on unverified Pro Card recipients.
Results report | 12 November 2026. The PCA UK Open 2026 results are now being reported after the competition at Vaillant Live in Derby on Sunday 8 November. Lewis Emmanuell is listed as the overall bodybuilding winner; Omkar Singh took the overall physique honour. FrontDouble also reports overall titles for Stefani Vila Nova and a competitor named Stefanie in the women’s categories. This is a results update, not a repeat of the pre-show registration guide. The published list is still being completed, with some athletes identified only by first names.
Quick answer: The reported PCA UK Open 2026 overall champions are Lewis Emmanuell (Bodybuilding), Omkar Singh (Physique), Stefani Vila Nova (listed in the Bikini overall category) and Stefanie (Figure; surname pending). This is an independently published results listing, not a complete PCA-certified scorecard. The same venue also hosted PCA First Timers (6) on the same date; those are different results.

Who won the PCA UK Open 2026 in Derby?
FrontDouble published its UK Open results roundup on 10 November, naming four overall winners. The term overall is important: a class victory and a final overall comparison are separate achievements. In some categories, a winner also appears in an individual class earlier on the same list.
- Overall Bodybuilding — Lewis Emmanuell
- Overall Men’s Physique — Omkar Singh
- Overall Bikini (as reported) — Stefani Vila Nova
- Overall Figure (as reported) — Stefanie — surname not yet confirmed
One naming detail requires caution. Stefani Vila Nova is also listed by FrontDouble as the winner of Wellness, while its overall summary calls her Bikini overall. Rather than silently treating those as interchangeable categories, this article preserves the publisher’s wording and flags the inconsistency for confirmation from PCA. Neither a Bikini nor a Wellness class should be relabelled to fit a headline. Read the source results and any later corrections.
PCA UK Open 2026 class results: notable winners
The entries below are a selection of the named placings published by FrontDouble. They are reported results; the list is not presented as a comprehensive official scorecard, and it may expand as the source receives full surnames and remaining places.
Bodybuilding, Classic and Men’s Physique
- Junior Bodybuilding — Lewis Sutherland — 1st
- Novice Bodybuilding — Rich Roberts — 1st
- Bodybuilding Medium — Karl Grayston — 1st; Jack Earle — 2nd
- Bodybuilding Tall — Niall Dexter — 1st
- Masters Bodybuilding 50+ — Dan Norman — 1st
- Classic Tall — Lewis Emmanuell — 1st; Lewis Barker — 2nd
- Physique Short — Omkar Singh — 1st; James Leone — 2nd
- Physique Tall — Reza Shafiei — 1st
- Masters Physique — Sameer Abdulla — 1st
- Mixed Disability — Abiodun Daramola — 1st
The Classic Tall result is an especially useful distinction for readers searching by athlete: Lewis Emmanuell finished ahead of Lewis Barker and is also named as the reported overall bodybuilding champion. That does not mean all Classic and Bodybuilding classes shared a single scorecard. PCA class standards and overall comparisons should be checked against the federation’s specific rules.
Women’s classes and Bikini placings
- Toned Figure — Amy Bleijleven — 1st
- Wellness — Stefani Vila Nova — 1st; Tayla — 2nd (surname pending)
- Junior Bikini — Renee Saunders — 1st
- Bikini Short — Larisa — 1st (surname pending); Rachel McCord — 2nd
- Bikini Tall — Laura — 1st (surname pending); Kirsty Currie — 2nd
- Bikini Masters 35+ — Bianca Beattie — 1st; Lydia Caswell — 2nd
- Bikini Masters 45+ — Zoe Williams — 1st
- Fit Model — Katy — 1st (surname pending)
- Athletic Figure — Stefanie — 1st (surname pending)
If you are searching for an athlete missing from the list, it does not prove that they failed to place. Multiple published entries still show incomplete names, and a federation results sheet would be needed to verify a complete final order. The article will require updating if the organiser provides a full official release.
Which athletes won PCA Pro Cards at the UK Open?
FrontDouble describes the show as one where new PCA professionals were crowned, but the available report does not identify a verified list of named Pro Card recipients or their precise qualification categories. An overall title, a class win and a professional card are not automatically the same thing. This report does not award a Pro Card to any person without an attributable confirmation.
Readers checking professional status should look for an official PCA athlete announcement, certificate or federation confirmation. For how PCA competition classes differ from other organisations, see FM Coaching’s UK bodybuilding division comparison and the official PCA competition criteria.
Was PCA UK Open held on Saturday or Sunday, 8 November 2026?
Sunday. PCA’s own registration page explicitly says Sunday 8 November 2026 and names Vaillant Live, Derby. A competing results article uses the word “Saturday” alongside 8 November, which is inconsistent with the official event listing and calendar date. This report uses the confirmed Sunday date. The venue is at 2 Colyear Street, Derby DE1 1LA.
The same venue and date also featured PCA First Timers (6). Searching “PCA Derby 2026 results” may therefore lead to two different event lists. This page covers the UK Open only. For the separate first-time competitor result, see FM Coaching’s PCA First Timers 6 Results report when available. For registration context, our existing PCA UK Open event preview explains ticket and athlete-entry arrangements before the show.
What these UK Open results mean for the 2027 bodybuilding season
The November results give athletes and coaches a clearer picture of the standards displayed in different PCA classes near the end of the 2026 season. They are useful as examples of division labels and names, not as a reliable measure of how a particular athlete will place in 2027. Judging is specific to the class and line-up. Attendance, class offerings and official qualification policies can change between shows.
PCA has begun listing 2027 events including Scotland, the Saxon Classic, First Timers Birmingham, Masters and Naturals. Details must be checked on the official PCA UK show calendar. FM Coaching’s bodybuilding competition hub is a practical starting point for comparing scheduled events and existing reports.
How to verify a PCA result or query an incomplete name
- Find the exact event and date: UK Open rather than First Timers (6).
- Check the full athlete name and class on the independent report; do not assume a missing surname or placement.
- Compare with PCA’s current social announcements or an official results notice when available.
- For qualification or PCA Pro status, request direct federation confirmation rather than interpreting an overall trophy as automatic eligibility.
- If a reliable corrected sheet appears, update this news URL instead of publishing an almost identical replacement.
PCA UK Open 2026 FAQs

Are the PCA UK Open 2026 full results official?
The placings cited here are reported by FrontDouble. They are not presented as a complete, officially certified PCA scorecard and some surnames remain unconfirmed.
Did the PCA UK Open give out Pro Cards?
An independent report says new PCA Pros were crowned, but the source reviewed did not provide a verified list of specific recipients. Confirm individual Pro Card status with PCA.
Are PCA UK Open and PCA First Timers 6 the same results?
No. Both events used the same Derby venue and date, but they are separate competitions and their results should not be merged.
Who won the women’s overall categories?
FrontDouble lists Stefani Vila Nova for its Bikini overall category and Stefanie for Figure. Its same page lists Stefani as a Wellness class winner, so the exact overall division labels need PCA confirmation.
Related PCA Derby 2026 results
The same venue also hosted a separate first-time competitor show. See the PCA First Timers 6 Derby 2026 results for its winners, and the original PCA UK Open 2026 event preview for event details. These are separate competitions, so their placings should not be combined.
Sources and editorial checks
FM Coaching reviewed FrontDouble’s 10 November UK Open report, the PCA UK Open registration page and PCA judging and entry criteria on 12 November 2026. The organiser confirms the event; the named placings above are attributed to the independent results publisher, not re-labelled as officially verified. FrontDouble flags updates and missing surnames, which are reflected here.
