Group Stage D
Six dunkers. Two rounds. One ticket to the World Championship.
Aug 11, 2026
The final Group Stage event has arrived, and with it comes the last opportunity to earn an automatic berth into the Dunkman World Championship. Leading the field is No. 1 seed Mac McClung, the only athlete to win three consecutive NBA Slam Dunk Contests and a competitor who has never lost a dunk contest. Standing in his way are Dylan Haugen, the world’s youngest professional dunker, veteran showman Brandon Ruffin, still chasing the biggest title of his career, Will Bunton, whose explosive bounce makes him one of the league’s most dangerous athletes, one-foot jump specialist Marlow Gilmore, renowned for his spectacular free throw line dunks, and Antonio Eaglan, an elite all-around athlete determined to make the world remember his name. With the final automatic berth into the Dunkman World Championship on the line, the pressure has never been higher as six elite athletes battle for one last chance to punch their ticket to the biggest stage in professional dunking.
