The 2027 WKC World Championships Are Heading to Orlando, Florida
The World Karate Commission is excited to announce that the 2027 WKC World Championships will be held in Orlando, Florida, from October 23 to 29, 2027. After an unforgettable week in Chiclana, Spain, the championships cross the Atlantic for another week of world-title competition.
Event details
- Dates: October 23–29, 2027
- City: Orlando, Florida, United States
- Venue: DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando, 5780 Major Boulevard, Orlando, FL 32819
Stay at the host hotel
The DoubleTree is both the host hotel and the competition venue, so staying on site puts you steps from the tatami all week. Book online with the WKC group links below, or call Hilton Reservations at 1-800-222-TREE (8733) and quote your rate code.
Orlando is a busy destination in October and group rooms go fast, so we recommend booking early.
Start planning now
Registration, the competition schedule and the medical clearance form will be posted on the World Championships page as they are confirmed. Before Worlds, the 2027 WKC Pan-American Championships take place in Guatemala City on July 17–18, 2027.
