List of HCL champions

This is a list of Human Cockfighting League (HCL) champions in each weight division.

HCL began with competitors in three weight classes: Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight, and Welterweight. At HCL 8: A Gross Display of Moderately Unnecessary Violence, the inaugural champions in all three weight classes were crowned. These champions were determined through 8-man tournaments that took place over the prior four shows, featuring fighters who were victorious in the first three shows, as well as wild card entrants. The tournaments were single elimination, and the finalists competed at HCL 8.

The HCL middleweight division debuted at HCL 11, with the first round of a 16-man tournament. The culmination of this tournament took place at HCL 17 with the crowning of the first ever HCL Middleweight Champion.
