While the last few iterations have been hosted in the US, the prestigious biennial grappling event happens at the Tauron Arena in Krakow, Poland this time around. ADCC 2026 happens on September 12-13, 2026, and with the first few sets of invites already handed out, it’s worth tracking the confirmed competitors to the highly anticipated event.
ADCC World Championships are typically headlined by the reigning “Super Fight” champion defending their belt against the previous absolute tournament winner. That should be Gordon Ryan vs. ADCC 2024 double gold medalist Kaynan Duarte, but with Ryan seemingly retired, the ADCC 2026 headliner still appears to be up in the air, as of this writing.
Below is the current fight card and full list of competitors that have a slot booked for ADCC 2026. We will be constantly updating this post every time an athlete gets confirmed for the event.
