Contender Series Season 10 kicks off Aug 11 — whose side will you take?

The lights come back on at the Meta APEX

Dana White’s Contender Series returns for Season 10, and Week 1 lands on Tuesday, 11 August 2026 (23:00 UTC) at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. This is the launch night of a fresh season — the first look at who’s stepping in.

Why the bracket is empty (for now)

Here’s the honest state of play: the matchups for this card haven’t been announced. Right now it reads as opponent-to-be-announced across the board. That means no records, no names, no favorites to call yet — and we don’t guess. The moment the card fills in, the who-wins-and-why debate opens up.

What to watch for

• The date and venue are locked: 11 Aug 2026, Meta APEX, Las Vegas.
• Week 1 sets the tone for the whole season — the first fighters in are the first ones you’ll be picking.
• As soon as names drop, that’s when you pick a side.

Get your bracket ready
