EVO 2026 has kicked off in Las Vegas and runs through June 28.
The exhibition center is hosting participants across twelve main disciplines — e.g., Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and 2XKO.
Thousands of players are vying for the top spot; the prize fund exceeds 500 thousand dollars, which makes every bracket tighter and more volatile.
The event stretches beyond plain tournaments: there are presentations and themed shows scattered through the halls. I find it often feels like a sprawling fan expo rather than a single-aim competition (esp. during the night showcases).
For viewers, multiple Twitch channels stream the action so you can hop between disciplines live. If you miss the live feed, the official tournament YouTube channel posts highlight recordings promptly. A detailed event calendar and match schedule are available on the official championship website.
