OUTRIDERS: January 2026 results

2026 is here, and so is a new season of the GBHL. Even just 1 month in we already have plenty of results to get through.

Before we get to the results for January though, a quick refresher for those who have missed it on the major rules changes from the 2025 season to the 2026 season.

• Your national league score will now be from your best 5 results, not best 6.

• Hobby Premium events will be happening for the first time. Awarding more points at these events for the Artisan of Middle-Earth award.

• Teams will now compete in 3 separate divisions, with promotion and demotion at the end of each season. (Full explainer coming soon)

• The deadline for team submissions will be at the end of February, and there will be no mid-season transfer window.

  
  

With that out of the way, let's take a look at some winners from the last month in the GBHL so far...
