The BBC Children In Need Appeal Show is the culmination of a nationwide fundraising effort across the UK. The televised show is scheduled to air on November 13 on BBC One and iPlayer.

The 2026 campaign, titled 'Challenge Yourself 2026', encourages individuals to create their own challenges inspired by the number 26 to raise money for the charity. Public figures like Alex Jones, Emma Bunton, Jordan Banjo, Mel Giedroyc, Joe Wicks, and Angela Scanlon back the campaign and join the presenting team.

Additional fundraising initiatives include a limited edition T-shirt designed by Emma Bunton, available through George at Asda, with proceeds supporting services for young people. Supporters can also take part in the 'Run With Pudsey And Joe Wicks' challenge, aiming to complete a marathon by running two miles a day in the two weeks leading up to the appeal show.
