MultiGP brings 200 pilots from 13 countries to Muncie Open
Two hundred pilots from 13 countries will race at AMA Headquarters, where the first MultiGP Squad Games add a new team title to FPV’s biggest stage.
Muncie is about to turn into the sport’s clearest measuring stick. More than 200 FPV pilots from 13 countries will descend on AMA Headquarters, the International Aeromodelling Center at 5161 E Memorial Dr in Muncie, Indiana, for the MultiGP International Open from June 10-14, with eight racing tracks running from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and the World Cup Finals set for Saturday at 6:00 p.m.
The scale is what separates this meet from a routine stop on the calendar. MultiGP describes the International Open as the world’s largest drone racing event, and the numbers back up that claim: the league says it has more than 30,000 registered pilots and 500 active chapters worldwide, stretching across the United States and into Australia, Asia, South Africa, Europe and South America. In that context, Muncie is not just hosting a race weekend. It is hosting a snapshot of where elite FPV racing stands right now.
That matters because the Open has already proven it can draw a real international field. The 2024 edition at AMA Headquarters brought in more than 200 flying pilots from around the world and spread over 15 events across five days. The 2026 version keeps that same heavyweight feel, but the structure is sharper, with the headline World Cup Finals and the new first-ever MultiGP Squad Games adding another layer of pressure for pilots chasing a title that carries real weight in the rankings.
The public-facing side is just as important to the event’s impact. Admission is free, all ages are welcome, and spectators are especially encouraged on June 12 and 13, when the weekend heat builds toward the finals. Alongside the racing, the site will feature industry vendors, food trucks and hands-on exhibits, turning AMA Headquarters into a festival as much as a competition. For families and first-time spectators, the draw is simple: massive custom-built courses and drones pushing past 100 mph.
The new Squad Game gives the Open a format built for drama. Sixteen teams of four pilots will race in a double-elimination bracket for the IO 2026 title, a team-based test that can punish one mistake and reward deep rosters as much as raw speed. In a sport where the best builds are copied almost as fast as the fastest laps, Muncie is the place where the next standard gets set.
