The FIDE World Championship Match 2026 between reigning World Champion Gukesh D and Challenger Javokhir Sindarov will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, from November 25 to December 15. Both Gukesh, representing India, and Sindarov, representing Uzbekistan, will be 20 years old when the event begins, making it the youngest World Championship contest in history.
This comes after Sindarov put up a dominant performance at the 2026 Candidates against the world’s top players, establishing himself as a worthy challenger for the World Championship.
