The ADCC World Championship Bracket Reveal Show takes place Friday, Sept. 11 at 1 p.m. ET, unveiling the first-round matchups and giving athletes their path to gold. Here are five things to know before the bracket reveal.
The Bracket Reveal Sets The Tournament Matchups
The bracket reveal determines the first-round pairings for every division at the 2026 ADCC World Championships. Once the brackets are announced, competitors will know exactly who stands between them and an ADCC title.
The Reveal Takes Place Less Than 24 Hours Before Competition
The bracket reveal show is scheduled for Sept. 11, one day before the ADCC World Championships begin in Krakow. The event serves as the final major step before athletes take the mats.
Seeding Plays A Major Role
ADCC uses a seeding process to help shape each bracket. Returning medalists and former champions are often seeded near the top of their divisions, while performances at ADCC Trials events can also impact placement.
Men's And Women's Divisions Use Different Seed Counts
Men's divisions feature 16 seeded athletes, while women's divisions feature eight seeded athletes. Those seedings help determine the first-round matchups revealed during the show.

The 2026 ADCC World Championships Bracket Reveal Show streams live on FloGrappling on Sept. 11 at 1 p.m. ET. The show provides the first look at every division's path to the podium before competition begins Sept. 12-13.
