## Direct answer

The World Humanoid Robot Games are a multisport event that includes free combat. A WHRG result must retain its discipline and weight class rather than being presented as a universal fighting-league result.

## Classification

- **Record status**: Active annual games
- **Entity kind**: sports-event
- **Field role**: core
- **Competition class**: International humanoid multisport event with free combat
- **Control mode**: Autonomous
- **Hardware field**: Open hardware field

## History

The Games debuted in Beijing in 2025 and return to the National Speed Skating Oval in 2026.

## Format

The 2026 free-combat rules divide robots into lightweight and heavyweight classes and define humanoid dimensions, mass and minimum joint requirements.

## Broadcast

Official organiser media is primary. Unitree footage is labelled manufacturer coverage rather than WHRG-owned broadcast.

## Verification boundary

The 2026 organiser PDF provides the strongest rules record in the field. Team, discipline and result records still require event-specific attribution.

## Rules status

**Official 2026 free-combat rules.** The organiser publishes 2026 free-combat technical and competition requirements for the 22–26 August event at the Ice Ribbon.

- **Lightweight**: 1.2–1.5 m · ≤40 kg — Official 2026 class
- **Heavyweight**: >1.5 m · ≤80 kg — Official 2026 class
- **Minimum joints**: Legs ≥6 · arms ≥5 — Degrees-of-freedom requirement
