What’s the PGF?
The Professional Grappling Federation (PGF) is a submission-only league that merges combat intensity with season-long team strategy.
Teams draft athletes in a live auction to form the rosters for our official PGF franchises such as the Las Vegas Kings, Alabama Twisters and Philadelphia Phenoms. Each season ends with playoffs and PGF Season 9's total athlete compensation pool exceeds $100,000.
Founded by Brandon McCaghren and supported by Zoltan Bathory of Five Finger Death Punch, PGF is rapidly becoming the Major League of Jiu-Jitsu—streamed live and free on YouTube, featuring fantasy leagues and fan interaction.
PGF Season 9 takes place in Las Vegas, NV, from March 4 – April 8, 2026. Competitors who make the roster must be ready to stay in Las Vegas and compete in 15 regular-season matches, with the top 8 advancing to the playoffs on April 8.
Who Can Compete?
Open Rank. All belts, styles, and experience levels at 175 lbs and under are welcome. We will be scouting both Season 9 roster athletes and alternates for future PGF events.
