Hey everyone,
We're already in August 2025, and many of us are starting to wonder… Where is the Meta Hacker Cup 2025 announcement?
Last year, registration opened on July 24th, and the contest has traditionally started around this time every year.
So far, there has been no official blog post, no website update, no public registration link — nothing.
This silence is worrying, especially in a time when other major contests like Google Code Jam and Kick Start have been officially discontinued. Hacker Cup has always been one of the few remaining global gems of competitive programming, and we really don’t want to lose it too.









Auto comment: topic has been updated by Duukh (previous revision, new revision, compare).

I think the qualification round will be happening in late August
How did you know that?
those who know :3
Can u explain what you told ? Means How did you guess about the date?
Doesn't seem to be the case.
It's still happening, don't worry! It's postponed since the dates aren't finalized yet
Will it be for everyone even graduated employed professionals?
we are now in late august
Are you deliberately using the word happen instead of take place?
also known as meta disaster cup
Why?
at this point we should reply every now and then for the blog to appear in recent actions
fair
makes sense
Anybody?
It looks like we can’t prevent cheating so it propably won’t happen :(.
Still Waiting++

I don't know why you are downvoted xD
Why bother just to be scammed by meta of a T-shirt again?
I don't know why I am being down voted for telling the facts.
When is it happening??
is the date or anything confirmed?
Nope, total silence from Meta.
I’ve just recently come across Meta Hacker Cup.
I am aiming for T-Shirt
Can someone inform me about the type of problems in hacker cup Is it more aligned with Codeforces , Atcoder , or any other platform to be precise are there a lot of Adhoc , Data structure heavy , or any specific topic
Also, apart from solving problems from previous years, what other resources would you recommend to prepare effectively?
Thanks in advance!
I gave that last year and what i can conclude is its more of algorithmic and adhoc heavy
Hi I'm new to this, is it more similar to leetcode or codeforces question? I've been practicing both
any updates?
yep! the hacker cup is happening soon see the SecondThread 's blog
