2025-2026 FIRST Program Registration Pricing

We are preparing to open registration in the FIRST^® Dashboard on May 14 for our next season. Like many organizations, FIRST operations are impacted by rising costs (e.g., materials, electronics, events, and logistics) throughout our ecosystem. Because of this, we are adjusting registration fees and product pricing for the upcoming year. We will also continue to work closely with our generous donors and sponsors to provide assistance, including team grants, in-kind contributions, and fundraising support.   

We remain committed to providing you the engaging, high-quality programs and events that make the FIRST experience so meaningful. For schools and afterschool service providers, FIRST remains a high-value, high-impact offering when compared with other after-school activities, programs, and traditional sports – especially on a per-student basis.   

Thank you for being part of the FIRST mission, and we look forward to another exciting season!
