Evo 2026
The Evolution Championship Series presented by Chipotle, or Evo for short, (Yes, with lowercase!) is the largest and longest-running fighting game tournament series in the world. Each year, players and fans gather to compete in open format tournaments that crown World Champions.
At Evo, you'll see established champions face off against unknown rivals. You'll find players who have only fought online building real-life friendships and rivalries. You'll see people new to fighting games discovering a culture that turns them into life-long fans. Everything that makes fighting games special is at the heart of Evo.
Evo 2026, presented by Chipotle, transforms the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center into a three-day celebration of competitive fighting games! Fans and players will gather in Las Vegas, NV from June 26–28, 2026, for an unforgettable weekend featuring 12 thrilling tournaments, hands-on experiences at publisher and developer booths, a sprawling vendor hall, Evo’s iconic 300+ cabinet arcade, and electrifying moments inside the in-venue Arena Finals Experience.
