The Dodgeball World Championship is a dodgeball competition for both men's and women's national teams. The event is organised by the World Dodgeball Federation, the sport's global governing body.
It was initially an open event, but this stopped as membership of the organisation grew, and now works by qualification. In 2021, WDBF's membership reached 80 members, all also members of the relevant continental federations.
While foam balls were the only type used in previous editions, since 2022 the Dodgeball World Championship has been contested in two categories: foam and cloth.
The eleventh world championship competition will be held in Bangkok in December 2026.
