IMMAF begins 2026 with a flagship return to Belgrade, Serbia, for the European Championships. Athletes across the Youth, Junior, and Senior divisions will come together in pursuit of Continental gold for their nations.

Hosted by the Serbian MMA Federation, the 2026 IMMAF European Championships aim to build on last year’s record-setting event, which became IMMAF’s largest continental competition to date.

“It is with immense pride and heartfelt excitement that I welcome you to the 2026 IMMAF European Championships,” said IMMAF President Kerrith Brown. “This prestigious event stands as a testament to the strength, skill, and spirit that define our ever-growing MMA community.

“The European Championships are more than a stage for elite competition, they are a powerful expression of IMMAF’s mission to unite nations through the shared values of respect, discipline, and sportsmanship. Every athlete who enters the arena carries not only their personal ambition, but also the hopes of their teammates, families, and nations.

“This year, we are especially proud to return to Serbia, a nation whose unwavering support has been instrumental in the development of MMA and in advancing IMMAF’s global race toward recognition.”
