Busy Beaver Champions are the current record holding Turing machines which maximize a Busy Beaver function. In this article we focus specifically on the longest running TMs. Some have been proven to be the longest running of all (and so are the ultimate champion) while others are only current champions and may be usurped in the future. For smaller domains, Pascal Michel's website is the canonical source for Busy Beaver champions and the History of Previous Champions. 1-state domains are omitted as BB(1,m) = 1 for m > 1.
Trivial Champions
BB(n,1) = n
BB(1,m) = 1
2-Symbol TMs
Rows are blank if no champion has been found which surpasses a smaller size problem. Also take note that the used in the lower bounds represent the Fast-Growing Hierarchy while represents Knuth's up-arrow notation; see measuring large numbers for more information. Machines below 6 states are listed in TNF format, where machines which tie for champion are all listed. Note that most champions above 6 states are self-reported and have not been independently verified.

| BB(67) | [5] | racheline in 2025 | is derived from Laver tables. From racheline: "The known information about q(n) isn't enough to prove that this machine scores higher than the shown champions with fewer states, or that it scores lower than the shown champions with more states."
If q(5) doesn't exist (this can only happen if ZFC+I3 is inconsistent), then this machine doesn't halt. |

Zoology
There are many types of champions.
Note: the scale here is not formally defined. It mostly serves to estimate the average values produced by a type of champions.
| Classification | Description | Examples | Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trivial | The simplest champions that can exist. They mostly appear in some BB-adjacent functions like BBf or BBCS. | ||
| Chaotic | Have a chaotic behavior with repeating patterns that go back and forth. | ||
| Countdown | Compute a number then "count down" (usually while bouncing) until reaching 0. They are common in some BB-adjacent functions like BBf. |
|
|
| Collatz-like | Compute a Collatz-like function. Repeatedly multiply and add a number depending of its modulo until reaching a number with a certain modulo. | ||
| Random walk | Compute a Collatz-like function with a random walk. | ||
| Tetrational | |||
| Ackermannian |
