Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) has initiated a series of major promotional events and championship announcements in August 2026.

Preparations for the CMLL 93rd Anniversary began with a large-scale function at Arena México on August 14, which drew over 16,000 spectators. The event featured high-profile matches involving wrestlers such as Averno, Místico, and CMLL World Champion Persephone. Additional gala events were scheduled for Arena Puebla to serve as a prelude to the anniversary celebrations on September 18. The Arena Puebla function on August 17 was set to feature matchups including Templario vs. Último Guerrero.

Following these celebrations, CMLL announced details for the Noche de Campeones 2026 event, set for September 25 at Arena México. The event will feature seven championships across World, National, Mini-Estrella, and Tag Team categories. As part of the tradition, the organization has opened a fan voting process on its official website to determine which wrestlers will challenge the current champions.

For the 93rd Anniversary, CMLL has confirmed a lineup featuring international participation from the Japanese promotion Stardom. High-profile championship bouts include a heavyweight title triangular match where Hechicero will defend the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship against Zack Sabre Jr. and Claudio Castagnoli. A four-way match is also set for the CMLL World Women's Championship, with Persephone defending against Mina Shirakawa, Tessa Blanchard, and Starlight Kid. Other scheduled matches include a tag team quadrangular with a suicide final involving Místico, Averno, Último Guerrero, and Templario.

As a precursor to the anniversary, CMLL announced the ‘Domingo Familiar Internacional’ event for September 13 at Arena México, positioned as a competitor to AAA’s Triplemanía 34. This card features a main event of Místico and Mike Bailey against Averno and Kevin Knight, alongside cross-promotional matches involving AEW and Stardom talent.
