IBJJF Professional League

The IBJJF Professional League is a global extension of the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation, designed to showcase elite-level competition. Unlike standard IBJJF tournaments, the Professional League focuses on high-profile matchups, prize purses, and broadcasted events.

This platform attracts the world’s top athletes, providing a professional setting that blends sport, entertainment, and media exposure. Matches often feature superstars in both gi and no-gi divisions, highlighting innovation and high-level strategy.

The Professional League also sets a precedent for monetizing BJJ competition, offering athletes a path toward full-time professional grappling careers. Its influence has helped elevate the visibility and legitimacy of competitive BJJ worldwide.
