Godzina Zero (Zero Hour) 2026 was the ninth annual KPW supershow, held since 2016. Unlike most previous editions, GZ'26 was held in September.
Build-up
- At Arena 34 Markus Paskal scored his first victory. His mentor, Kamil Aleksander, then told him that his final test would be fighting him at Godzina Zero.
- At the same show Greg forced Krystian Malinowski to give him the title match by prostrating himself in the ring and refusing to get up.
- The relations between the Fux Brothers have been deteriorating since losing the KPW Tag Team Championship at Godzina Zero 2025, and their confrontation at the last show ended with Filip attacking Michał. Thus, on 18.08.2026 KPW announced a match between the two brothers.
- On 20.08.2026 Eryk Lesak announced his involvement in a Facebook post with upcoming dates of his appearances.
- Leon Lato and Tomczak faced one another a few times in the past, including at Arena 29, where Leon won by chaining Tomczak outside the ring for a forced count-out, and Arena 34, where Lato removed the monster heel's mask. The resulting bad blood between the two led to the announcement of KPW's first Dog Collar Match on 21.08.2026.
- On 22.08.2026 KPW released a video of Krystian Malinowski calling Chemik to inform him that he'll have a match for the KPW Tag Team Championship against Team Visegrad, but needs to find himself a tag-team partner. Eryk Lesak, who was Chemik's first choice, was said by Malinowski to be unavailable due to him having a Championship match of his own.
- On 23.08.2026 KPW announced that Zefir - the winner of the #1 Contendership at Arena 34 - will join Greg and Iestyn Rees in the fight for the main title. This marks the first time a bout for the federation's primary gold will be a Three-Way Match.
- A video released on 24.08.2026 added a stipulation to Paskal's match with Kamil: Career vs Career. This is only the second time this stipulation was used, the first being Piękny Kawaler vs Robert Star at Godzina Zero 2019. The match was officially confirmed the next day.
- In a video published on 26.08.2026 Krystian Malinowski stated that the three rookies: Adept Dwa, Adept Trzy and Adept Cztery will face each other in a Three-Way Match. The winner will sign a contract and join the KPW roster, while the others will "shut their mouths once and for all and get back to their duties". The match was officially confirmed on 28.08.2026.
- On 4.09.2026 KPW announced that due to David Oliwa and Ricky Sky still recovering from injuries, Team Visegrad will be represented by Lukáš Mottl and Johan Otto. Otto is an Austrian wrestler working in European Wrestling Association, among other places, personally chosed by Oliwa to take his place in this match.
- On 5.09.2026 Lesak was given an opponent - Nitro Green from Denmark, debuting in Poland. In 2019, in Romanian promotion RWA, Nitro Green was the final opponent faced by Piękny Kawaler at the end of his in-ring career.
- In keeping with something of a tradition of recent years, on 6.09.2026 KPW announced a Championship Contract Battle Royal, the winner of which will be able to challenge any Champion for any title, at any time within a year following the victory.
- In a video released on 6.09.2026 Krystian Malinowski stated that this show will stream live on KPW's YouTube channel - a first for the promotion.

Highlights
- The show opened with a new countdown before Kinga Miotke came out to a new theme, replacing the usual "Stand of Fall" by Bonfire.
- After his match, Kamil Aleksander cut a promo talking about his years as a pro wrestler, and thanking the fans and the roster for their support. Afterwards, he cut his shoelaces with a pair of scissors and left his boots in the ring, thus ending his career.
- Chemik came out alone and said he hadn't found a tag team partner, but was ready to fight solo if need be. He then dropped to his knees and addressed God directly, asking for divine intervention. Several moments later the good Lord seemingly answered by sending him Oskar Haller, who in turn said he'd rather be a Champion alongside Chemik, rather than allow him to score both Championships for himself. Chemik - who was so against the idea that he first asked Kinga Miotke if she'd like to team up with him - replied he needed to consult this, which he did by kneeling in a corner and praying. After a while he came back saying that the Lord hath spoken: Sure, why not ("Może być").
- Just as Sędzia Alan was about to count Chemik's pin on Lukáš Mottl to three, Johan Otto pulled the referee out of the ring by the feet. As the two argued, Chemik attempted to clobber Mottl on the head with his Legacy of Wrestling championship contract briefcase which he'd won at Enter the Dragon. Oskar Haller stopped him, though, calling out Chemik's unsportsmanlike behaviour. This gave Team Visegrad an opening to attack and very nearly pin Chemik, but ultimately to no avail.
- Despite being a team, Chemik and Oskar Haller did not get along. Chemik began the match by tagging in Oskar via a slap to the face and ended by throwing the tagged-oot Haller out of the ring, before grabbing both Tag Team Championships for himself. Oskar then entered the ring and snatched one of the belts from Chemik's hand, much to the latter's chagrin.
- Tomczak came out without his mask and wearing new, white coveralls.
- Early in the Dog Collar Match the chain on Tomczak's end broke, leaving him unshackled for the rest of the match.
- Leon Lato bled ever so slightly.
- Filip Fux tried attacking Michał with a steel chair. Michał then turned the tables on his sibling but could not bring himself to brutalise his own brother in such manner. Filip had no such scruples and hit Michał below the belt, promptly following it with Chemik's finishing move Ostatnie Namaszczenie, thus winning the fight.
- Krystian Malinowski inserted himself into the Battle Royal, and called for Rosetti
- Eryk Lesak pushed Oskar Haller out of the ring and onto Chemik who caught him mid-air, thus saving him from elimination. Haller urged his tag team partner to throw him back into the ring, but Chemik just dropped him to the floor.
- Battle Royal elimination order:
- Rosetti eliminates Krystian Malinowski
- Filip Fux eliminates Rosetti
- Tomczak eliminates Leon Lato
- Tomczak eliminates Johan Otto
- Lukáš Mottl eliminates Adept Dwa
- Lukáš Mottl eliminates Markus Paskal
- Chemik & Oskar Haller eliminate Tomczak
- Michał Fux eliminates Chemik
- Chemik eliminates Oskar Haller (outside the ring)
- Nitro Green eliminates Lukáš Mottl
- Eryk Lesak eliminates Nitro Green
- Michał Fux eliminates Filip Fux
- Michał Fux eliminates Eryk Lesak
- Zefir returned to his fire-breathing entrance routine after a year-long break.
- After the match, Zefir cut a promo apologising for not winning the KPW Championship and promising to do better next time. Afterwards, he asked a young fan whose dream it was to meet Zefir, to join him in the ring.
- Lastly, Krystian Malinowski came out into the ring and went on a long-winded and increasingly unhinged tirade, talking about the superiority of Iestyn Rees - whom he referred to as the god of Polish wrestling - and the fans being accessories to the attept at Malinowski's life. He said the fans were no longer necessary and should stop coming to his shows, for they shall perish in hellfire when the Judgement Day cometh, and the day is nigh. As he was talking about populating the Earth with tens of thousands of little Chairmen, four babyfaces - Michał Fux, Oskar Haller, Leon Lato and Zefir - quietly joined him in the ring before unceremoniously putting him in a straitjacket and carrying him off.
- The commentary for the live stream was done by Rosetti and Arek Paterek, marking the latter's first official appearance at a KPW show (his presence in the audience at Arena 27 notwithstanding).
