What Is USA Computing Olympiad?
USACO publishes programming problems, training material and algorithmic contests. In the published 2025-26 materials, competitors progressed through Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum divisions by contest performance. The public problem archive offers a way to prepare independently.
The completed 2025-26 season used three online contests and a proctored invitational U.S. Open. The organizer described that season as transitional. A future season should not be assumed to use identical contest windows, formats or promotion rules.
