The third Africa & MENA Region Qualifier, part of the GBB26 Challenger Series: the official Grand Beatbox Battle 2026 entry round for beatboxers from Africa and the MENA region. It was fought entirely online. A wildcard round, whose Top 8 was announced in May 2026, was followed by a Solo bracket of eight released in August 2026, judged by Faya Braz, Petr Sarancha and Max. Onyx stepped into the Top 8 in place of Remix, who had already qualified for GBB26 through the Comeback Wildcard. Gelber won the final against Fabley, 2 votes to 1, and earned his ticket to GBB26.
