Who is competing at ADCC 2026?
ADCC’s official competitor page, dated August 31 when checked, now lists all eight weight-division fields and the superfight. It names 16 athletes in each men’s division and eight in each women’s division. Treat the list as the announced field, not final brackets or results.
The announced superfight is Kaynan Duarte vs. Yuri Simoes. Names elsewhere in the official list include Dorian Olivarez at −66 kg, Dante Leon at −77 kg, Jozef Chen at −88 kg, Kaynan Duarte at −99 kg and Felipe Pena at +99 kg. The women’s fields include Mayssa Bastos at −55 kg, Ana Carolina Vieira at −65 kg and Helena Crevar at +65 kg. These are examples from the announced field, not predictions or seeds.
ADCC identifies returning champions, Trials winners and invitations as the entry routes. For the complete lineup and subsequent replacements, use its official competitor page linked above. For historical context, see ADCC champions through previous editions.
Tickets and the Kraków venue
The official event page names eBilet.pl as the ticket outlet. Start from that official listing and check the exact event, session coverage and seat before purchasing. Ticket prices and live inventory have not been verified for this guide.
The venue address is TAURON Arena, Stanisława Lema 7, Kraków. If you are travelling, keep the event listing available alongside your ticket confirmation; a streaming schedule does not establish arena admission times.
Worlds weight divisions
The competitor list uses the familiar rounded division labels below. For the precise limits in the event listing and the distinction between Worlds and Opens, use our ADCC weight-class guide.
| Men | Women |
|---|---|
| −66 kg | −55 kg |
| −77 kg | −65 kg |
| −88 kg | +65 kg |
| −99 kg | — |
| +99 kg | — |
The official event listing also includes the men’s Absolute division. Do not assume every competition carrying the ADCC name offers the same divisions. Our ADCC rules guide explains scoring and the distinctions readers should check.
Can amateurs compete that weekend?
The ADCC Amateur World Championship is listed for September 11 at TAURON Arena. It has its own eligibility, experience categories and registration arrangements. Entering that event does not qualify someone for the professional Worlds the next day. Check the amateur listing for the category you intend to enter.
Questions before the weekend
Is the full match schedule confirmed here?
No. This page reports the broadcaster’s listed start time. Individual division times, match order and any changes must be checked against the current brackets and broadcast schedule.
Are tickets still pending announcement?
The official event listing now identifies eBilet.pl as the ticket outlet. Availability and prices need to be checked with the seller.
Where should I check results?
Use ADCC’s official reporting and FloGrappling’s event coverage after matches take place. The athlete list above describes announced entries; it is not a results table.
