The Evolution Championship Series (EVO) 2026 is officially underway in Las Vegas, running from June 26 to June 28 at the Convention Center's West Hall.
As the world's most prestigious fighting game tournament, EVO celebrates its nearly 30-year legacy by hosting an open-bracket competition where both amateurs and professionals strive for global glory.
This year, the event features 12 official titles, including heavy hitters like Street Fighter 6 and TEKKEN 8, along with high-interest newcomers like 2XKO.
While registration numbers have seen a slight decline compared to previous years—partly due to the tournament's new international presence in Japan, France, and Singapore—EVO remains a vital hub for esports circuits like the Capcom Pro Tour.
Despite economic challenges affecting travel, the spirit of competition remains as fierce as ever, with substantial prize pools on the line.
Fans can follow the action live through official Twitch and YouTube channels or track brackets in real-time via start.gg.
