Jits Pro League 2: Spring Team Qualifier is scheduled for March 21st, 2026 and we’ve now finalised the full lineup for the event. There are over a dozen exciting preliminary card matchups featuring grapplers from all around the UK, leading directly in to the first qualifying round for our 2026 team tournament. Four academies from the area have put together teams of 3 competitors; one in each weight class at 160lbs, 185lbs, and 210lbs. These competitors will then battle it out in a round-robin format; with each one facing all 3 of their opposite numbers in their weight class in order to score points for their team.
Each submission win will score 3 points and each decision win will score 1 point, while a finish in under 4 minutes earns the team 1 bonus point and a finish in under a minute scores 2. Once all matches are finished then the team with the highest total score will go on to compete in the grand finale in November, where they will face the winning team from the Summer Qualifier for the £1,000 grand prize. The format means that competitors from different belt levels from blue to black will be facing each other, undoubtedly leading to plenty of upsets by the end of the day.
