KRAKOW, September 13 — The 2026 ADCC World Championships are in the books, staged at the Tauron Arena in Krakow, Poland, where the world’s top grapplers spent multiple days pursuing an ADCC title. The story begins, as it always does at this event, with the brackets. FloGrappling produced a Bracket Reveal Show, streamed live, that set the seeding and first-round matchups for every athlete.
Preview content around the reveal highlighted five key facts about the brackets, including top seeds, key matchups and title contenders. Additional preview material included rankings, bracket reveal coverage, a Superfight preview and athlete lists.
The bracket reveal and Day 1 were also streamed on the FloGrappling YouTube channel.
How the days unfolded
Coverage ran across multiple days. Day 1 followed the opening rounds as competitors began their pursuit of a title. Day 2 tracked the remaining competitors battling for medals and the crowning of ADCC champions, with semifinal coverage that day including start times, updated brackets, Absolute division details and Superfight information.
FloZone, a live channel, followed the biggest matches, submissions and moments from every mat. A Portuguese-language live results feed covered the action directly from the Tauron Arena in Krakow.
At its heart, this is a tournament built on names, and several drew attention in the lead-up. Kaynan Duarte returned to ADCC in 2026 after a dominant 2024 ADCC World Championship performance, and FloGrappling published a retrospective of every victory from that 2024 run before his 2026 competition. Vagner Rocha and Owen Jones were also featured in “watch them compete” previews, each with a look at how they were preparing for one of grappling’s biggest events.
Where the results live
The ADCC World Championships is the flagship event of the Abu Dhabi Combat Club, widely regarded as the most prestigious tournament in submission grappling, and the 2026 edition drew the world’s top grapplers to Krakow to pursue an ADCC championship.
