ADCC 2026 will take place in the TAURON Arena in Krakow, Poland on September 12th and 13th, 2026 and this is the full updated list of every competitor invited. There are only two ways to earn an invite to ADCC, either winning an ADCC Trials tournament or by being awarded a place based on past performances. There are 8 invites available for men at Trials and 4 for the women, as their divisions are half the size. It’s also customary for the top four athletes in every weight class from the previous edition to receive invites, although this is not guaranteed. Below is a list of all the results from this cycle of ADCC Trials:
First ADCC European, Middle-Eastern, and African Trials Results
Second ADCC European, Middle-Eastern, and African Trials Results
First ADCC North American Trials Results
Second ADCC North American Trials Results
First ADCC South American Trials Results

Superfights
There is always at least one superfight at ADCC, and the Superfight title is currently held by Gordon Ryan. Historically, the man challenging for the title is the absolute champion from the previous edition. That man is Kaynan Duarte and although he did have a face-off with Ryan at ADCC 2024, that match is not yet confirmed. There is also the possibility for the first ever women’s superfight title-fight, as Adele Fornarino won the absolute division at ADCC 2024. This has not yet been confirmed either, and there’s no indication as to who might face her if the title is created.
