Many versions of the British Tag Team Titles exist in the independent circuit of the United Kingdom at any given time but the scene is usually dominated by one company's version. When another company becomes dominant the title often manages to unify itself or is brought into that company.
Current champions Kieron Lacey and Mark Trew won a tournament to determine new champions promoted by Rumble Promotions in Gillingham, Kent on 13 April 2024.
