The year 2016 is the 11th year in the history of the Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki, a mixed martial arts promotion based in Poland. In 2016 Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki held 4 events beginning with, KSW 34: New Order .

KSW 34: New Order was a mixed martial arts event held on March 5, 2016 at the Torwar in Warsaw, Poland.

This promotional event was the first of 2016 and was aired on the free TV channel Polsat. Future events in this year will appear on PPV in Poland and the web platform KSW TV worldwide.

Owners of Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki announced that Tomasz Narkun was expected to face Andre Muniz in his first title defense. On February 25, it was announced that Muniz withdrew from the bout due to elbow injury and was replaced by Cassio Barbosa de Oliveira who defeated UFC veteran Ronny Markes two weeks earlier at Shooto Brazil 61.

Łukasz Bieńkowski was expected to face Svetlozar Savov, but on March 1, it was announced that Bieńkowski pulled out due to injury and Antoni Chmielewski (who was planning to take part in PLMMA 64 on March 18, 2016) was added as a 'last minute' replacement.

One of the scheduled opening fights on the card was a match-up between Grzegorz Szulakowski and Bartłomiej Kurczewski. Szulakowski had to pull out due to an arm injury and there was no replacement for him, so the bout was deleted from the card.
