The ADCC has officially revealed that its 2026 World Championships will take place in Krakow, Poland, on September 12th and 13th!
The event will be hosted inside the TAURON Arena Kraków, the largest and most advanced sports venue in the country.
This marks a major return to Europe for the Abu Dhabi Combat Club.
The last European ADCC World Championships were held in Finland in 2017, and this will also be the first time since 2019 that the event takes place outside of Las Vegas.
The ADCC World Championships pits top athletes against each other in a highly exclusive bracket. With only five weight classes for men and three for women, each division is filled with elite talent.
The format, featuring longer matches and ADCC’s unique ruleset, is designed to push competitors to their absolute limits.
The tournament field is typically composed of both trial winners from different continents and a handpicked group of invitees.
Over the years, ADCC has brought its flagship event to iconic locations across the globe including Brazil, China, Abu Dhabi, and the United States.
Hosting the 2026 edition in Krakow not only brings the tournament back to Europe but also promises a massive stage for the sport’s biggest stars, with the TAURON Arena capable of seating tens of thousands.
