As one of London’s most popular charity events, the Ultimate News Quiz has raised over £2 million since it began in 2007.
The Ultimate News Quiz is back on Tuesday 4th March 2025, and this time, we'll be at the iconic Guildhall in London with our returning host, Gary Lineker!
The event invites a guestlist of TV and News personalities to battle it out in a current affairs quiz. Previous years have seen famous faces including Louis Theroux, Grayson Perry, Dermot O'Leary, Vanessa Feltz, Dr Ranj Singh, Martin Lewis, Carol Vorderman, Piers Morgan, Susanna Reid and stars of ITV’s the Chase racing to be crowned champions.
Alongside teams such as BBC, ITV, This Morning, Good Morning Britain and Channels 4 and 5, we’ve also had renowned corporations with the likes of Netflix, Google, Amazon and Facebook in attendance.
Last year the Ultimate News Quiz raised an incredible £275,000 to support Action for Children.
BBC Newsnight claimed the victory at the 2024 event. But it's all to play for when we return this year...
