Grapple Worlds is back. On 7th November 2026, we return with our most ambitious event to date, and we are doing it from a brand new home. Stadium MK in Milton Keynes will host Grapple Worlds 3, and everything you know about the event is about to get significantly better.
This is not a routine announcement. Every element of the Grapple Worlds experience has been reviewed, rebuilt and reinvested in. The venue, the production, the fighter incentives, the seating, the VIP experience, the online stream. All of it. Here is what is coming.
A New Home: Stadium MK, Milton Keynes
The move to Stadium MK is the most visible sign of where Grapple Worlds is heading. We have outgrown our previous venue, and when the opportunity came to relocate to one of the most accessible and well-equipped event spaces in the country, the decision was straightforward.
Stadium MK sits at the heart of Milton Keynes, a city purpose-built around accessibility. Whether you are travelling from the north or the south, by car or by public transport, getting there is genuinely easy. Milton Keynes Central station is a short distance from the venue, with direct rail links to London, Birmingham and beyond. By road, the M1 runs directly through the city, making Stadium MK one of the most straightforward arena venues to reach in the UK. Ample parking is available on site, so if you are driving in with a group, it is covered.
Once you are there, the venue itself delivers. More space, better facilities, more food and drink options, and an environment that feels like it has been built for an event of this scale. We wanted a venue that matched the ambition of Grapple Worlds. Stadium MK does exactly that.
A Transformed Viewing Experience Inside the Venue
We have listened carefully to the feedback from our first two events. Visibility was raised as something we could improve, and we have taken that seriously. Standard seating at Grapple Worlds 3 will be on raised platforms, meaning every single person in the building will have a clear, unobstructed view of the mats from start to finish. No craning your neck. No standing up to see what happened. Just clean sightlines to everything, every moment, all night.
The VIP area has been substantially improved as well. VIP ticket holders will have access to the best position in the building, right on the action, with a view that simply cannot be matched from anywhere else in the venue. Beyond the view, the VIP experience has been designed to offer a higher level of comfort and exclusivity throughout the entire night. If you are attending Grapple Worlds 3 and want the best possible experience, VIP is where you want to be.
A Serious Investment in Production Quality
Grapple Worlds 3 will look and sound different to anything we have produced before. We are making a significant investment in our production setup, bringing in upgraded cameras and equipment to deliver a broadcast quality that reflects the level of competition on the card.
The athletes competing at Grapple Worlds 3 deserve to be captured properly. The submissions, the scrambles, the moments that define a match. All of it will be covered, and all of it will be delivered at a standard we are genuinely proud of. This is something we have been building towards since the first event, and Grapple Worlds 3 is where it comes together.
PPV Access at a Discounted Rate
If you cannot make it to Milton Keynes on the 7th, you will be able to watch Grapple Worlds 3 live via our PPV stream. And to mark the upgraded production and welcome new viewers to the event, we are offering the stream at a discounted rate for Grapple Worlds 3.
This is a deliberate choice. We want viewers who have never watched Grapple Worlds before to tune in, see what the event is about, and understand why it is worth watching. The standard of grappling, the submission-only format, and the atmosphere. We are confident that anyone who watches Grapple Worlds 3 will be back for Grapple Worlds 4 and every show after it. The discounted stream is our way of making that first watch as easy as possible.
Increased Submission Bonuses for Fighters
Grapple Worlds has always rewarded fighters who go for the finish. Cash submission bonuses have been part of every event since day one, because we believe in creating conditions that incentivise action. Stalling has no place here, and the format of the event is designed to make sure the fighters on the card know that.
For Grapple Worlds 3, submission bonuses are increasing. We want every athlete on the card to know that going for the finish is worth it, and that a meaningful reward backs the risk of attempting a submission. More details on bonus amounts will be confirmed as we approach the event, but the message is simple: finish your opponent, and you will be properly compensated for it.
More Announcements Coming Soon
There is a significant amount still to be revealed about Grapple Worlds 3, and we will be sharing it over the coming weeks. We can confirm that a special guest commentator will be joining the commentary team for the event, bringing a new voice and a new level of expertise to the broadcast.
We will also be announcing an extraordinary opportunity for one athlete competing at Grapple Worlds 3. A place in one of jiu-jitsu's largest and most exciting events in the United States of America is on the line, and full details on how that opportunity will be awarded will be confirmed soon.
There is more beyond that. Fighter announcements, card details, and further information on what to expect from the night are all coming. Follow us on social media and sign up to the mailing list to make sure you do not miss anything.
