Evo France 2026
The world's biggest fighting game tournament returns to Nice for its second European edition - three days, eight titles, open brackets for everyone.
Evo France 2026 is the second European edition of Evo, the world's largest and most prestigious fighting game tournament series. Held over three days at the Palais des Expositions inside the Nice Acropolis on the Cote d'Azur, it brings the open-bracket format that defines Evo to the French Riviera: anyone can enter, seasoned pros and first-timers share the same brackets, and the finals play out on the main stage in front of a packed arena. The 2026 lineup spans eight titles - Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Guilty Gear -Strive-, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, plus the tournament debuts of 2XKO and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. For players from Croatia and the wider region, Nice is one of the most reachable Evo stops yet, an easy trip for anyone who wants to compete or simply watch the best in the world up close. Beyond the brackets expect side events, free play, exhibitors and a crowd that turns every clutch comeback into a roar. Whether you are chasing a top-8 placing or just want to feel the atmosphere of a live Grand Finals, this is the fighting-game weekend of the year in Europe.
