We’re pleased to announce that a brilliant team of Open University students will be appearing in Series 30 of University Challenge. Ann (captain), Elinor, James, Mike and Nicky (reserve member) comprise the 2023 team who will be appearing on screens across the UK tonight (Monday, 4 September) for their first-round match at 8.30pm (BST) on BBC Two.  

You can find out more about the team, what they’re studying, and how they found the University Challenge experience on our new Meet the team page. 

We will be live tweeting the match on our page here and hope you will join us in cheering on Team Open! 

If you fancy a go on University Challenge yourself, you can register your interest to hear when applications open for the 2024 team, in autumn 2023.
