The UK’s premier (and current biggest) independent LAN party, EPIC.LAN draws a successful 2025 to a close by announcing the return of its retail partner, Overclockers UK for next year. 

As one of the UK’s leading online retailers of PC systems and components, Overclockers UK and EPIC.LAN will be launching their seventh year of partnership with a community-first approach while bringing the best technology and coolest looking PC builds to the hands of gamers at EPIC.LAN’s three core events in Kettering and its boutique event in Coventry in August as Overclockers UK extend the partnership to cover EPIC.LAN’s LUX casual event series.

At EPIC.LAN’s core events, Overclockers UK will be demonstrating the latest technology through the top brands in gaming as well as their own Pro Gamers Group hardware such as HAVN, noblechairs, Ducky and Endgame Gear. Participants will benefit from exclusive discounts, giveaways and fun activations to keep people occupied at the event away from their PCs, some may even involve going outdoors…at a LAN!

In addition, the partnership will continue between events through activations in EPIC.LAN’s 4000+ strong Discord community as well as working together on B2B opportunities outside of EPIC.LAN’s community events.

Jon Winkle, Managing Director at EPIC.LAN, commented: “The shout of ‘Hello Overclockers’ will continue to ring through the sports hall of esports in Kettering through 2026! We’re excited to confirm that the familiar faces of the Overclockers UK team will continue to be a key part of our core events next year and we’ll be seeing them extend their presence into our more relaxed LUX events in Coventry.

I know I’ve said it before, but as somebody who’s shopped at Overclockers UK as a local business since the early days of owning and building my own PC, this partnership means a lot to me so I can’t wait to see what we can do together over the next 12 months. ”

Jacob McNally, Partnerships and Relationships Manager for Overclockers UK, added: “As the UK Gaming Industry continues to be knocked down, Overclockers UK is proud to support EPIC.LAN as it continues to stand strong as a beacon for all. We are extremely excited to be back for another year, showcasing the latest and great tech, PC builds and more to EPIC.LAN’s community. Adding EPIC.LUX into the mix, as well as supporting year-round community activity means even more OcUK than ever before. You cannot have the Sports Hall of Esports without the occasional HELLO OVERCLOCKERS“

EPIC47 takes place at Kettering Leisure Village from 19-22 February 2026. Tickets and event information are available at www.epiclan.co.uk.
