California FFA Auctioneering Championship Finals Set for March 23, 2026
The California FFA Auctioneering Championship Finals will take place Monday, March 23, 2026, during the California FFA State Convention in Ontario, California.
The top 10 FFA contestants earned their place in the finals after competing in the preliminary contest held February 10 at the World Ag Expo in Tulare. These finalists will now compete for the California FFA Auctioneering Championship title as they showcase their auctioneering skills in front of industry leaders, judges, and fellow FFA members.
Event Schedule
- Contestant Check-In – 9:00 AM
- Mandatory Contestant Meeting – 10:00 AM
- Contest Begins – 11:30 AM
This program is helping introduce the next generation of auctioneers to the industry, while creating opportunities for young leaders to develop valuable communication, leadership, and professional skills.
We are incredibly grateful to the sponsors helping make this event possible. Sponsorship support helps fund scholarships for hardworking FFA members and helps send the California champion to compete at the International Junior Auctioneering Championship during the National Auction Association Convention & Show in San Antonio, Texas, in July 2026.
