History
File:Hala Gdańsk Sopot wnętrze.JPG
Martin Lewandowski had been the manager of the Hotel Marriott in Warsaw when he met Maciej Kawulski in 2002. Kawulski was organizing one of the biggest sports expos in Poland at that time, and as both businessmen come from martial arts backgrounds, they quickly found a common subject. Eighteen months later the first KSW show was born.{{cite web|last=Leidecker |first=Tim |url=http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/The-Polish-Pride-14371 |title=The Polish Pride |publisher=Sherdog.com |date=2008-09-12 |access-date=2015-04-10}}
The promotion is famed for its four and eight-man tournaments, which until KSW X - Dekalog took place over the period of one night,{{cite web|last=Leidecker |first=Tim |url=http://sherdog.com/news/articles/the-polish-pride-14371 |title=The Polish Pride |publisher=Sherdog.com |date=2008-09-12 |access-date=2015-04-10}} but since KSW XI they are split, with the tournament final taking place on the next event. KSW XV is the first event without a new tournament, only with extra fights and finals from previous tournaments.
Different from other bigger promotions such as the UFC, KSW adopted the strategy of having events that are less frequent but bigger, focusing on creating big shows with stacked cards and with great spectacle.{{cite web

}} In 2017, KSW 39: Colosseum beat the record for the largest live attendance to a MMA event in Europe, and second-largest in history with 57,776 fans, only after the Pride Shockwave in 2002 and ahead of UFC 193.{{Cite web|last=Zidan|first=Karim|date=2017-05-27|title=KSW 39 stadium show reportedly breaks UFC 193 attendance record|url=https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2017/5/27/15704306/ksw-39-stadium-show-reportedly-breaks-ufc-193-attendance-record|access-date=2022-01-09|website=Bloody Elbow|language=en}}{{Cite web|title=Total Attendance|url=https://www.tapology.com/search/mma-event-figures/total-attendance|access-date=2022-01-09|website=Tapology|language=en}}
Several fighters who have been successful in KSW have signed on to more well known promotions such as the UFC. KSW has its own fight team, the KSW Team, which consists of some of the promotion's elite fighters, such as Mamed Khalidov, Jan Błachowicz, Krzysztof Kulak, Łukasz Jurkowski or Antoni Chmielewski. KSW co-operates with many other promotions in Europe by exchanging fighters, for example WFC and The Cage. KSW runs the majority of its shows live on a variety of TV networks (Polsat Sport, Polsat Sport Extra) throughout Europe. Since KSW XI, the promotion runs its shows live on nationally available at private free-to-air television network Polsat.

In October 2022, it was announced that as part of the extension of cooperation with XTB - one of the largest Polish fintechs offering its own investment platform, a new agreement was concluded, in which XTB will become the title sponsor of the KSW gala in 2023. The agreement is concluded for the entire year 2023 and will be valid for ten out of twelve planned galas, of which six of these events will be called XTB KSW. In other cases, XTB will be a strategic sponsor, just like in 2022 - at galas in Łódź, Toruń, Radom and Warsaw.{{Cite web |title = Nokaut!
