In May 2023, the City of Edmonton reopened the application process for large-scale combative sports events only. Venues must have a capacity of 5,000 or more to be considered for a combative sports event in Edmonton.
A 9 month pause on combative sports had been in place as City administration completed a full risk assessment on the City’s involvement in sanctioning and oversight in combative sports events in Edmonton.
The Edmonton Combative Sports Commission (ECSC) is a Council Committee composed of up to 7 volunteer citizen members. This governance body operates within the jurisdiction established by City Council through the Edmonton Combative Sports Commission Bylaw 15638. The ECSC supplements the regulatory provisions in the Combative Sports Bylaw 15594 through further regulations on combative sports matters such as licensing, conduct, qualifications and contests. The ECSC also serves as an appeal body for decisions made by the Executive Director regarding licensing and permitting.
The Executive Director is an employee of the City and, pursuant to Bylaw 15638, is responsible for all operational decisions about combative sports in Edmonton. The Executive Director is not a member of the ECSC; however, the ECSC's regulations set additional rules to be applied by the Executive Director and other combative sports officials.
Online applications to fill Commission vacancies are accepted in the annual December/January Recruitment Campaign.
