European Jiu-Jitsu Championship

The European Jiu-Jitsu Championship is IBJJF’s premier event in Europe, drawing competitors from across the continent and beyond. Hosted annually in Portugal, it features divisions for all belts and ages, offering both gi and no-gi competition.

The championship has played a key role in the development of European BJJ, providing a platform for athletes to gain international experience and recognition. Many European champions go on to compete in the Mundials and other global events, helping elevate the overall level of competition.

In addition to the tournament itself, the European Championship fosters community engagement, with seminars, exhibitions, and networking opportunities. It has become a central hub for European practitioners to connect, learn, and celebrate the sport.
