World Master IBJJF 2026 Schedule: Dates, Location And What To Know

The 2026 World Master IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship runs September 3–5 at the Las Vegas Convention Center (Halls W1–W3), bringing thousands of competitors from Master 1 through Master 7 age divisions to compete for world titles at blue, purple, brown, and black belt.

A preliminary schedule has been released, with the final day-by-day mat assignments due out September 2 — the day before competition starts. As with the adult Worlds, expect gi-only brackets split by age, weight, and belt, with the heaviest mat traffic typically falling on the opening weekend days.

If you're one of the thousands making the trip, our gi fit and sizing guide is worth a check before you pack — competition-legal fit gets stricter the higher your belt.
