[2][3] A four-team single-elimination tournament took place on the 24 and 25 November tapings of NXT UK (aired 2 and 9 January 2019, respectively).

The finals occurred at TakeOver: Blackpool on 12 January, where the team of James Drake and Zack Gibson defeated Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven and Tyler Bate) to become the inaugural champions.

Subsequently, the NXT UK Tag Team Championship was retired on 4 September 2022 at Worlds Collide.

[7] Over the championship's four year history, there were seven reigns between seven teams composed of 14 individual champions and one vacancy.

Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang) had the longest reign, which WWE recognizes as lasting 497 days (beginning 17 October 2019 and ending 25 February 2021); the actual length of their reign is undeterminable as the real date they lost the title is unknown.
