Dutch Pinball Open Expo

This year the Dutch Pinball Open 2026, the largest pinball event in the Netherlands and the Open Dutch Pinball Championship, will return for a fourth year to the NH Congress Center in Veldhoven. On November 13th to 15th.

This edition is expected to boast an impressive line-up of 200 pinball machines. The majority of them are set to ‘free play,’ allowing enthusiasts and newcomers alike to enjoy endless games. Additionally, the organisers have a small selection reserved exclusively for the competitions. Will you join in the quest to become the best pinball player in the Netherlands? Or simply drop by to have a fun time flipping?

The show also has various vendors where you can purchase manuals, parts, and other pinball-related items.

Each year, they invite industry experts to share their insights, and once confirmed, we will announce them here. In short, there’s plenty for everyone to do and enjoy at the Dutch Pinball Open Expo.

What can you expect to find?

• Around 200 pinball machines, all set to ‘free play’
