PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla.—Pensacola Beach, Florida, will host the 2026 Fall Beach Brawl from Sept. 25-27 at Casino Beach, bringing athletes and spectators together for three days of high-intensity fitness competition.
Now in its 15th year, the Pensacola Beach Brawl was founded in 2012 and is held twice annually, in the spring and fall. The fall event is expected to draw individual and team competitors to the Gulfside Pavilion at Casino Beach.
Competition begins Friday, Sept. 25, with elite athletes, while individual events continue Saturday, Sept. 26, followed by four-person team competition Sunday, Sept. 27.
According to organizers, the event attracted participants from 33 states and four countries in 2025. Unlike many fitness competitions, Beach Brawl does not require athletes to complete qualifying events or meet other prerequisites. The format also does not use managed corral times.
“Beach Brawl is a unique combination of serious competition, community and the incredible setting of Pensacola Beach,” says Brian Brand, owner and event director of Pensacola Beach Brawl. “Athletes come ready to compete, but they also come to have fun, make connections and enjoy everything Pensacola Beach has to offer.”
Spectator admission is free. Organizers expect the event to bring athletes, coaches, family members, and visitors to Pensacola Beach, where attendees can also visit area restaurants, attractions, beaches, and outdoor recreation offerings.
Registration, competition divisions, workout information, and additional event details are available at pensacolabeachbrawl.com.
