2026 Crown | Ingridd Alves Eyes Crown Throne
Veteran Standout Accepts Crown Call
2026 IBJJF Crown Announcement
The 2026 Crown is building a phenomenal list of athletes for its fourth edition. Forty-eight world-class competitors will converge inside the famous Long Beach Pyramid on November 8th with hopes of securing one of the most sought after trophies in the sport, as well as the $20,000 cash prize.
Ingridd Alves has officially accepted her Crown invitation to become the fourth super-heavyweight contender announced. The Agora athlete earned podium placement at three Grand Slam events in 2026, and recently secured the Brasileiro No-Gi title.
Ingridd Alves - Experience Meets Ability
Ingridd Alves has maintained a consistent presence amongst the world’s top athletes. The former Pan and European Champion finalized her 2026 Gi campaign with a Worlds silver medal.
Ingridd boasts a balanced attack that relentlessly pursues the finish. The Agora representative blends top and bottom systems seamlessly, and combines her technique with the strategic awareness of a seasoned veteran. Take a look at her 2025 European Championship finals performance that earned her the major title.
The medium-heavyweight standout will rely on her dynamic ability to contend for the Crown title. Ingridd may be slightly undersized for the super-heavyweight division, but what she gives in size she plans to take with mobility. She joins a stacked division that already boasts Yara Soares, Hazel Rose, and Larissa Dias.
The Crown action is scheduled for November 8th live from the Pyramid in Long Beach, California. Stay tuned to official IBJJF channels for continued updates surrounding the 2026 IBJJF Crown.
