If you ask the average fight fan about their favorite place to watch MMA, the vast majority will talk about the UFC. There is no denying that the UFC is the cream of the crop, but there are plenty of other organizations offering quality events. ONE Championship is one such organization, and they set themselves apart from the rest by offering up card that feature MMA, kickboxing, and Muay Thai, all under a single banner. If you have yet to watch what ONE has to offer, the great news is that there will be plenty of opportunities to play catch up in 2026, as there are a ton of events coming, so let’s look at some of the bigger events on the calendar.
One Championship 2026 Schedule: Top Bouts, Fighters to Watch Out For
ONE Championship continues to expand its global footprint in 2026, delivering a steady calendar of Fight Night cards and major numbered events across Asia, North America, and beyond. While some cards are already locked in, others will take shape as contenders emerge and divisions evolve throughout the year.
ONE Fight Night 39 – January 23
Most of the major events in the ONE Championship are held in Asia, and this one is no different, with Fight Night 39 set to take place in Bangkok. The highlight of this particular event is a Muay Thai bout between Rambolek and Dayakaev, with the winner set to get a shot at the title.
^ONE Fight Night 40 – February 13
We head back to Bangkok for the next big Fight Night, with this one hosting a title fight at the top of the main card. This will be a rematch between Buntan, the current champion, and Hemetsberger for the Women’s Strawweight Kickboxing Championship. This highlights the variety that you get with these events, as it always feels like there is something new and exciting with each of the major ONE cards.
^| Event | Date | Location | Main Highlight |
|---|---|---|---|
| ONE Fight Night 39 | January 23, 2026 | Bangkok, Thailand | Rambolek vs Dayakaev (Muay Thai) |
| ONE Fight Night 40 | February 13, 2026 | Bangkok, Thailand | Buntan vs Hemetsberger (Kickboxing Title) |
Upcoming Events with No Card Set
The events that have already been discussed have their cards set in stone, but once you start to look a few months out, it makes sense that we don’t know what the matchups will be. Still, there are some big nights on the calendar that we can take a look at, and which we believe should be circled in terms of watching and wagering opportunities.
We will get a major Fight Night every single month, but the big numbered events are also coming, starting with ONE 174, which is set for April 2, which is a Thursday night. The ONE events usually fall on a Friday, so be sure to stay aware of the different schedule here. Another big one comes quickly thereafter, with ONE 175 taking place in Tokyo on April 29, which means that this one falls on a Wednesday.
^ONE: Denver – June 26
Next up, American fight fans will get an opportunity to check out the ONE Championship live, as ONE: Denver will be taking place on June 26 at the Ball Arena. I would be very surprised if we did not get a championship fight of some kind on this card, as this is the perfect opportunity for the organization to grow their fan base in North America. Expect something big here, and you can be sure that we will keep you up to date with any news and fight announcements for this card.
^Key Dates to Circle in 2026
While many matchups remain undecided, the timing and locations of these events alone make them important checkpoints for fans and bettors following ONE Championship throughout the year.
What the Remainder of the Year Looks Like for the ONE Championship
The ONE Championship calendar is showing nothing but Fight Night events for the second half of 2026, but there will absolutely be more dates added. They will be waiting for the outcomes of bouts to see which fighters rise and which fall, all of which will help decide who faces who in the remainder of the year. Again, stay tuned here to get the latest news, updates, and odds on all the upcoming events in the ONE Championship.
