The Evolution Championship Series (Evo) represents the largest and longest-running fighting game tournaments on Earth. In 2024, the Las Vegas event featured 10,244 competitors becoming the largest tournament in esports history. Evo brings together the best of the best from around the world with events in the U.S., Japan, and France (and soon-to-be Singapore in 2026) in an electric showcase of skill and fun, as players and fans gather to honor the competitive spirit in an open bracket format that reveals the world’s strongest fighting game players. Evo was established in 2002 after a series of local arcade tournaments run by Tom and Tony Cannon were first held in 1996. Evo is owned and operated by RTS and Sony Interactive Entertainment.
