The flagship fighting-game event will reveal details for both EVO USA 2026 and EVO Japan 2026 in a dedicated livestream.
Evolution Championship Series (EVO) have announced their next major reveal: the “EVO 2026 Announcement Show” is set for Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at 5:00 PM PT (8:00 PM ET). This event will unveil information about EVO USA 2026, EVO Japan 2026, and the 2026 EVO Awards and potentially other locations, like this year's EVO France, or the replacements for EVO Singapore, which was moved to 2027.
For the fighting-game community, timing and format are important. EVO has long been the leading global fighting-game tournament series, and with EVO's recent expansion into new regions, players and fans will be eager to see which games are included, how qualification works, and what the stakes are at each event. Although the official announcement doesn’t specify particular games or formats, fans will probably focus on titles like Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, and other major fighting-game releases, considering their presence in recent EVO lineups.
