Format

The season took place in 5 different cities for 6 different series: New York City on May 2nd, Vancouver on May 23rd, Sydney on June 20th, Seoul on August 1st, and two in Los Angeles (one normal series on September 19th & one championship on September 20th). Originally, Hong Kong was part of the list of cities with Los Angeles only containing the Championship. But due to partnering issues in the city, the series was cancelled. Each series would have two divisions, starting with the Community Division before moving onto the main Pro Division.

Pro Division

For the pro division this season, each team put forward a roster with a minimum of 20 dancers and a maximum of 30 dancers. Each team can change the roster during the season, adding or removing dancers, but they cannot go above 30. Before a series, each team would put forward a lineup of 20 dancers for that series. Each series would have a lineup and teams can change their lineup or keep it the exact same for multiple series. The Los Angeles series & Championship though, will have the exact same lineup for both. If a team performs on the day of the series without a full 20-dancer lineup (they can switch the lineup in between lineup announcement & the day of the series) their score will be deducted, unless it's unavoidable (e.g. Visa issues).

In the first round, all six teams are matched up into predetermined pairs where they perform one routine for the judges and the fan vote to enter into Round 2. A coin toss is used to determine the team that goes first. The total points that can be scored is 7 points, six judges and one fan vote. Which ever pro team wins their round advances to the second round with the losing pro team being 'knocked-out' of the series. The points that judges award, are added to their overall season standings no matter if they lost or won. Every team will face every other team in the season.

In Round 2, the winning three teams then perform an entire new routine in a three-way battle. Judges scores are averaged out for the groups and an added fan vote point is divided between the three teams based on the fan vote percentage they got. Points are divided on their position, first gets awarded seven points; second gets awarded five points; and third gets awarded three points, which is added to their overall standing for the season. The team with the most standings points at the end (including those gained during the Championship series) gets the "IDL Season Standings Title" and the cash prize is divided based on your standing. First place gets $200,000, second gets $180,000, third gets $170,000, fourth gets $160,000, fifth gets $150,000, and sixth gets $140,000.

The Championship series is formatted like the other series. But, the round 1 matchups are determined by the seedings in the standings as is after the last normal series (Los Angeles). First seed faces sixth, second faces fifth, and third faces fourth. The higher seed then determines which team goes first. The winner of Round 2 is crowned as the "IDL Champion" of the season, there's no second nor third. Points are awarded accordingly to the season standings for the final rankings.

At the most, teams would need to make 12 sets in the span of 6 months (including the pre-season from February/March). Each team had to prepare 2 sets, one for each round, in the time that's given in between series: pre-season for New York, 3 weeks for Vancouver, 4 weeks for Sydney, 6 weeks for Seoul, and 7 weeks for Los Angeles & Championship (4 sets). If a team didn't qualify into Round 2, they can reuse their set for a future series, giving an advantage towards the losing teams to prepare their set for a longer time and having to prepare only 1 new set for the next series.

Each team are scored on a scoresheet by six different judges. The six judges are part of a rotating panel who are trained to be as objective as possible by the two head judges, Dr. Arnel Calvario and Nicolas Bégin. The scoresheet is divided into two sections and ten criteria, which are:

• Design: Complexity of Choreography, Staging, Musicality, Creativity, and Stylistic Athleticism.
• Execution: Cleanliness, Technical Execution + Authenticity, Spacing, Projection/Communication, and Stamina.

Each judge score each criteria on a 1-10 scale. From Seoul onwards, judges were given the possibility to give 0.5 scores. Each judges criteria list is then summed up and their vote goes to the higher score. For individual criteria score, the judges scores are averaged, same goes for the overall score for each team.

Community Division

The Community Division format for this season was open to teams from the surrounding location where the series were. The division was divided into an adult division (18+) and a junior division (17 and under). Each series had their own Community Division, with New York and Vancouver only having an adult division and Sydney onwards having the junior division as well. From the application, IDL would then select the teams to compete in the competition. Each series was limited to 10 adult teams and 10 junior teams (although the Championship series had 11 adult teams).

Each series had a corresponding region that could apply, those are:

• New York: Eastern + Central United States.
• Vancouver: Canada, Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Central Asia.
• Sydney: South Asia, Maritime South East Asia (excluding Philippines), Oceania, and the Pacific Islands.
• Seoul: East Asia, Mainland Southeast Asia, and the Philippines
• Los Angeles & Championship: Western United States, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.

The Community Division judges would differ from the Pro Division judges, and the scoring would be similar to how Round 2 of the Pro Division is scored. Every team would perform one set and would be scored with the same scoresheet as the Pro Division.

Series 1: New York

The league season took off in New York City on May 2nd at Hammerstein Ballroom. The event was sold out and had 383,000+ livestream views. In the Pro Division, Brotherhood took first place, with Quick Style taking runner-up and Royal Family at third-place. In the Community Division, Narratiiv took first place, followed by The Squad and Day one taking second and third place, respectively. Saweetie performed the halftime show for the series. It was hosted by JustMaiko and Megan Batoon.

Pro Division

The judges for New York's Pro Division were: Amari Marshall, Arturo Lyons, Chonqiue Sneed, Jamal Sims, and LaTasha Barnes. Dr. Arnel Calvario and Nicolas Bégin were the head judges with Calvario serving as one of the six judges and Bégin serving as the "deduction judge".

Round 1

Round 1 of New York's Pro Division consisted of 3 matchups: GRV vs. Quick Style, Brotherhood vs. 1Million, and Royal Family vs. Jam Republic.

Match 1: GRV vs. Quick Style

The first Round 1 matchup for New York was originally Royal Family vs. Jam Republic, but because of Jam Republic's visa issues, they were moved to the last matchup.

Match 3: Royal Family vs. Jam Republic

The final Round 1 matchup for New York was Royal Family vs. Jam Republic. The matchup, originally the first of the series, was moved to the last as Jam Republic members: Lu Nguyen, Song Linh Nguyen, and captain Aennon Tabungar had visa issues and couldn't attend. Because of this, member Carlo Darang & Kiana Tangonan were subbed in and Jam Republic were given more time to prepare. This also meant that Jam Republic had only 19 dancers on stage, rather than the required 20.

Jam Republic went first after the coin toss and performed their set to "One Time Comin'" by YG. After them, GRV went and performed their set to the same song as Jam Republic, the only time a same-song matchup happened in the season. The match was won by GRV, sweeping Jam Republic 7-0, and scores of 88.83 and 81.00.

Both teams were given the chance to switch their Round 1 & 2 set to not have to face each other with the same song. But, both teams kept the "One Time Comin'" set as their Round 1. It was noted as a blunder by Jam Republic, as GRV's set was scored better. The same song matchup made both sets easier to compare and could've been detrimental to Jam Republic's score, especially with GRV's mix being noted as more interesting.

Royal Family went first after the coin toss and performed their set to a mix of "Stupid Hoe" by Nicki Minaj, "Gyal Like Me" by Parris Goebel, and the original song '"Crown Heavy". After them, Brotherhood went and performed their set to "Toxic" by Britney Spears. Broterhood won the matchup, sweeping Royal Family 7-0, and scores of 92.17 and 88.17.

Brotherhood's set, including their Round 2 set, was stated to have been made in 2 weeks due to music clearance issues. Both their song choices, "Toxic" and "After Party", was chosen not only as a diss towards both song being used by Royal Family in their Round 2 set at New York, but also as a last ditch effort to select songs that were already cleared previously.

Round 1

Round 1 of Seoul's Pro Division consisted of 3 matchups: GRV vs. Royal Family, Brotherhood vs. Quick Style, and Jam Republic vs. 1Million.

Match 1: GRV vs. Royal Family

The first Round 1 matchup for Seoul was GRV vs. Royal Family. GRV ended up performing with only 19 dancers on stage, because member River Novin had visa issues and couldn't make it. This was the first time a team, outside of Jam Republic, that had visa issues for a series location.

Bold means captain. Italic means debut.

GRV went first after the coin toss and performed their set to a mix of "F*ck Up Some Commas" by Future and "Bugatti" by Ace Hood. After them, Royal Family went and performed their set to a mix of "Family Ties" by Baby Keem & Kendrick Lamar, "Up!" by Bianca Oblivion, and "Demons" by Doja Cat. The matchup was won by Royal Family, sweeping GRV 7-0, and scores of 87.83 and 84.08.

Royal Family's win was an upset win. Royal Family being a team that was going down after their New York third-place placement and GRV's recent runner-up finish in Sydney caused Royal Family's win to be unexpected. Many people contributed their loss to lack of stamina & member River Novin's absence effects towards the team's overall morale.

Both teams had references and "disses" towards each other. GRV dissed Royal Family's Isla Potini section in their Sydney Round 1 set, led by member Arron Oscala. Royal Family's entire "Demons" section was a diss towards GRV's own "Demons" set against Brotherhood back in Vancouver, specifically referencing Kenneth Espiritu's section.

Bold means captain.

Brotherhood went first and performed their set to "Family Ties" by Baby Keem & Kendrick Lamar. After them, Quick Style went and performed their set to "Pasta" by Karpe. The matchup was won by Brotherhood, keeping their perfect season by sweeping Quick Style 7-0, and scores of 87.83 and 84.83. This was notably the first time Brotherhood had scored below a 90.00 for a set, and the first time they weren't the highest-scoring team in Round 1.

Both teams had music clearance problems. Brotherhood's Round 2 set was originally for Round 1, facing Quick Style with "Takedown as they used the song in Sydney when facing 1Million. But, their original Round 2 set was uncleared 5 days before the series. Brotherhood decided to make a new set in 5 days to "Family Ties", an already cleared song by Royal Family, and switched "Takedown" to be their Round 2 set. Many fans have speculated that their "Gangnam Style" set they performed for Championship Round 1 was the set that didn't get cleared. Quick Style's original Round 1 set was also uncleared a week before the series. The team had to create a new set from scratch as well.

Quick Style had multiple "disses" and references towards Brotherhood, referencing many of their IDL sets from previous series, including: Humuza Bazira's litefeet section from New York Round 2, Eldon Linsangan's crowd surfing moment and TikTok dance trend from Vancouver Round 2, and Eldon Linsangan's popping section, Dayton Paradis' vogue section, and Jon Ray Dy Buco's section from Sydney Round 1. They also took Royal Family's teasing face "disses" from their Sydney Round 1 set when they faced Brotherhood. Brotherhood's set was the first time they didn't have any "disses", but their Round 2 was supposed to be the dissing set until the problems with the music clearance arose.

Jam Republic's single point is attributed to head judge, Nicolas Bégin.

Jam Republic had multiple references and "disses" towards 1Million. The most notable one being member Zee Tan dressed up as 1Million's captain Jonah Aki and got "beat up" by Jam Republic's captain Aennon Tabungar while the "Family Ties" mix plays the lyrics "beat 'em up" repeatedly. They also referenced 1Million's Sydney Round 1 set with the "Poker Face" song choice.

The matchup was won by Royal Family, sweeping Quick Style 7-0, and scores of 89.08 and 81.92. This closed out Quick Style's normal season, making them the only team to be sweeped every Round 1 post-New York.

Royal Family's usage of "N95" in their set was a reference or "diss" towards Quick Style, from their New York Round 1 set.

Jam Republic went first and performed their set to a mix of "Promise" by Ciara and "Distraction" by Kehlani. After them, Brotherhood went and performed their set to "Bebot" by the Black Eyed Peas. The matchup was won by Brotherhood, sweeping Jam Republic 7-0, with scores of 92.25 and 88.08.

Jam Republic had multiple references & "disses" towards Brotherhood, including: Michael Delleva's band section in Vancouver Round 2, Alo Galedo's stress band section in and Eldon Linsangan's heart formation (which was a 1Million diss as well) in New York Round 1, and Humuza Bazira's intro in Sydney Round 1. Jam Republic also used the audio of a TikTok from user @_erickonda_ where he jokingly called Brotherhood members "down-low", a slang for being in the closet, for how good their sets were.

Brotherhood's song choice was also noted for being a "diss" towards Jam Republic. "Bebot" being a song entirely in Filipino referencing both how Jam Republic represents South East Asia and Brotherhood having mostly Filipino dancers, including captain Adrian Vendiola.

Championship: Los Angeles

The Championship of the 2026 IDL season took place in Los Angeles, GRV's home turf, on September 20th at the Shrine Expo Hall, the day after the Los Angeles series. The Championship closed the "Championship Weekend" and the 2026 season as a whole. The event was sold out and livestreamed globally. In the Pro Division, GRV pulled off an upset win and won the "IDL Champion" title and trophy, beating Brotherhood by a less than .5 score difference. Round 2 consisted of Brotherhood and Jam Republic as well. There was no official 2nd place or 3rd place, although points were scored for the final season standings. Brotherhood though, secured first on the final season standings, winning the $200,000 cash prize. The Community Division's adult division which took place in the Championship was won by Choreo Cookies, with V Mo and Team Athena securing second and third, respectively.

Pro Division

There was one extra judge for the Championship Pro Division, totalling 7 judge. This was an agreement by all the crews to lessen the possibility of one of the points being a popularity contest and more credible by being a professional judge's score. The judges for the Pro Division were: LaTasha Barnes, Shaun Evaristo, Cheyenne Kibblewhite, Handy Yacinthe, Comfort Fedoke, and Brandi Chun. Dr. Arnel Calvario and Stephen Grey were the head judges again, now with Grey as the judging head judge and Calvario as the "deduction judge".

Round 1

Round 1 of the Championship's Pro Division consisted of the seeding results of the previous series, being: Brotherhood vs. Quick Style, Royal Family vs. Jam Republic, and 1Million vs. GRV. The Championship Round 1 was also known to not contain many references & "disses", as the team could've had faced any other team after the LA series points were added up.

Match 1: Brotherhood vs. Quick Style

The first Round 1 matchup for the Championship was (Seed 1) Brotherhood vs. (Seed 6) Quick Style. This was a rematch between the two teams from the Seoul series.

The matchup was won by Brotherhood, sweeping Quick Style 7-0 and scores of 91.91 & 82.99, finishing Quick Style run in the season.

Quick Style's usage of "Jealous Type" was a reference to Brotherhood's New York Round 1 set and, notably, they were the only team to have a Round 1 set with specific disses towards a team. Brotherhood's "Gangnam Style" set was also rumoured by fans to be their Seoul Round 2 set and was the set that was uncleared five days before the series.

Final: Brotherhood vs. Jam Republic vs. GRV

The Final of the Championship consisted of the three winners of Round 1: Brotherhood, Jam Republic, and GRV. This was Jam Republic's first Round 2 entry since Vancouver. The crews performed in order from the lowest-scored Round 1 performance to the highest-score. Jam Republic went first and performed to the song "Kilometre" by Burna Boy. GRV went second and performed their song to a mix of "Kryptonite (I'm on It)" by Purple Ribbon All-Stars, "Promise" by Ciara, and "Left, Right" by YG. Brotherhood went last and performed their set to a mix of "Take on Me" by A-ha and "Backseat Freestyle" by Kendrick Lamar. Brotherhood's set was a direct reference to their Vibe 2017 set, nicknamed "Love Connection", which was the set that popularized them as a crew. GRV won an upset win, crowning them as the 2026 inaugural "IDL Champion" with a score of 94.00, beating Brotherhood by a .43 difference, Brotherhood scoring a 93.57. Jam Republic's set scored a 90.86, their first score above a 90.00. The Championship's Final also was the first Round 2 where every team scored above a 90.00.

Brotherhood also is the crew with the highest average score of the entire season at a 93.39, the only crew with an average score above a 90.00. Quick Style is the crew with the lowest average score of the season at an 84.96. Only 17 sets scored above a 90.00, 11 of them belonging to Brotherhood, 5 of them belonging to GRV, and 1 of them being Jam Republic's.

The series with the highest average score and the only series with an average above a 90.00 is the Championship at a 90.11, with its Final being the round with the highest-average score as well at a 92.81.

Brotherhood's 2026 season

Vancouver's Brotherhood had a nearly perfect season, scoring 82 points at first. Entering the season as the favourite to win after their win at the 2025 launch event, Brotherhood had a perfect normal season making them enter as the first seed in the Championship and not losing a single point in any series. But, a runner-up finish at the Championship after an upset win by GRV blocked them from a perfect 2026 season.

GRV's 2026 season

1Million's 2026 season

Seoul's 1Million were another crew who had a steady rise in score throughout the season and turned to be one of the favourites in the season and not losing a Round 1 matchup since New York, taking the second seed for most of the season before falling into the third seed entering the Championship. Losing to an upset by GRV at the Championship made them fall even further into a fourth-place finish with 32 points.

Jam Republic's 2026 season

South East Asia's Jam Republic were one of the crews who were one of the strongest in the beginning of the season although they were faced with multiple visa issues, only to slowly fall in terms of their performance. But, they did slowly make a rise back from Seoul onwards. Although they entered the Championship as the fifth seed, they pulled an upset against Royal Family and had the third-best score in the Final. They finished fifth-place with 24 points.

Quick Style's 2026 season

Oslo's Quick Style were a crew who had an explosive start to the season in New York. Beating GRV and securing that runner-up finish showed that they were a force to be reckoned with. But, slowly and progressively the crew lost steam through the season. With not a single Round 2 qualification since their first in New York, Quick Style entered the Championship as the sixth seed and lost to Brotherhood, keeping their sixth-place with 9 points.
