Event Overview

Get ready for the most visceral, jaw-dropping spectacle at DragonCon! Dragon’s Cup 2026 marks an incredible milestone as it celebrates 11 years at the convention! Bringing real-world medieval combat right to the heart of Atlanta, this special anniversary event is hosted by the Palmetto Knights. Across multiple days, they are packing the con schedule with interactive fan panels, audience-guided exhibition matches, and a full-contact tournament.

This isn't stage choreography or movie magic. These are world-class athletes—many fresh off the World Championships—suited up in over 60 pounds of authentic steel armor, delivering real, high-impact strikes, takedowns, and strategy. Best of all, the duels and outrance events are officially ranked as a Buhurt International (BI) Classic-Level Tournament, meaning fans will see elite fighters from across the country putting everything on the line for international glory and a piece of Dragon's Cup history.
