ADCC Trials season continues, with more invites to the ADCC 2026 world championships up for grabs this weekend. The 2025 ADCC East Coast Trials happens from Saturday to Sunday (November 15-16, 2025), at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
The first five invites to ADCC 2026 were secured by the tournament winners from the ADCC Europe and Middle East Trials last September. This weekend will be North America’s turn, with over 600 grapplers competing in a deep and talent rich event
that will only award five slots to the world championships.
The prestigious no gi tournament will kick off at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday (November 15, 2025) for the opening rounds, and will conclude with the final rounds on Sunday. The entire two-day event will be streamed live on FloGrappling. Should they also post a free live stream of the earlier rounds, it will be embedded on the post below.
ADCC East Coast Trials preview
At the 2025 ADCC East Coast Trials, the two lightest men’s divisions have pretty massive brackets, with 66 kg and 77 kg having 143 and 172 grapplers, respectively. 66 kg will be the division to watch in the event, as it is stacked with BJJ champs. It features previous trials winners like Dorian Olivarez and Keith Krikorian, along with other talented pros Gianni Grippo, Max Hanson, Gavin Corbe, and Julian Espinosa.
Notable names participating at the heavier divisions include the likes of the bulked up Achilles Rocha who has moved up to 99 kg, and CJI vets Brandon Reed and Kyle Boehm competing at the over 99 kg brackets.
After going through a gauntlet of competitors, eventual tournament winners from the five men’s divisions will receive invites to ADCC 2026.
Much like the last iteration though, the women’s divisions won’t receive invites just yet, as those are going to be awarded on the second leg of these regional trials. There will be several female BJJ champions still competing in the event though, like previous ADCC Trials winners Ana Mayordomo at -55 kg and Mo Black at -65 kg.
The full list of competitors are here, while brackets will be posted here once available.
