2026 Major League Wrestling event
Battle Riot VIII is an upcoming professional wrestling event produced by Major League Wrestling (MLW) that will take place on January 29, 2026, at the Osceola Heritage Park Events Center in Kissimmee, Florida. The event will air live on BeIN Sports USA and will stream live on MLW’s YouTube channel.
Battle Riot is an annual event produced by Major League Wrestling that was first held in 2018 as a television taping for MLW Fusion. The event is named after the Battle Riot match, a multi-competitor match type in which wrestlers are eliminated until one is left and declared winner. The match begins with a number of participants in the ring, who are then eliminated by either pin, submission, or going over the top rope and having both feet touch the venue floor. The declared winner of the Battle Riot match receives a “golden ticket”, which they can redeem for a future MLW World Heavyweight Championship title shot anytime and anywhere, however in this year, World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line in this Battle Riot.
On November 13, 2025, MLW announced that Battle Riot VIII would take place on January 29, 2026, at the Osceola Heritage Park Events Center in Kissimmee, Florida.[1]
The card consisted of matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by MLW’s writers. Storylines were played out at MLW events, and across the league’s social media platforms.[2]
