Evo France 2026 Schedule and Streams: What the Official Site Provides
Updated
Evo France 2026 runs Friday, October 9 through Sunday, October 11, 2026 at Palais des Expositions – Nice Acropolis, with doors opening Thursday, October 8. The official site (evo.gg) is where you'll find the event schedule, the stream lineup, and bracket information. It lists 7 total streams and a dedicated schedule section, plus an event map and FAQ. What the site does not publish, based on the available page content, is a per-hour breakdown of matches or direct stream URLs — those details sit behind the schedule and streams sections of the site itself.

Where the schedule lives
The site presents a repeating "EVO FRANCE 2026 SCHEDULE" section rather than a static list of times in the page content. To use it:
- Go to evo.gg and open the schedule section.
- Match the day (Oct 8–11) to the game you want to watch.
- Cross-check against the bracket information section, since brackets determine who plays when.
Because the schedule is rendered dynamically, treat any times you see as subject to change — Evo schedules typically shift as earlier matches run long.
Streams: what's confirmed
The site states 7 total streams for the event. That's the confirmed count. It does not, in the available content, list individual channel names or embed links, so the practical route is:
- Open the Streams section on evo.gg during the event weekend.
- Expect multiple concurrent channels, since 7 streams across a three-day, multi-game event implies parallel coverage rather than one main feed.
If you're planning to watch a specific game, check the schedule first to know which day and block it falls in, then pick the corresponding stream.
Games and their formats
The rules section confirms the featured titles and how each is run. All are played on PlayStation 5 with Bring Your Own Controller, double elimination.
| Game | Rounds/Game | Games/Set | Top 8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Street Fighter 6 | 2/3 | 2/3 | 3/5 |
| Tekken 8 | 3/5 | 2/3 | 3/5 |
| Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising | 2/3 | 3/5 (entire tournament) | — |
| Guilty Gear Strive | 2/3 | 3/5 | — |
| Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game | 2/3 | 3/5 | — |
Tekken 8 follows Tekken World Tour rules where they conflict with the listed rules.
Rules worth knowing before you watch or enter
- Character locking: In Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Granblue, and Guilty Gear Strive, the winner of a game must keep the same character; the loser may switch.
- Stage selection: Random stage select, though players may agree on a stage. Street Fighter 6 bans the Training Room stage.
- Bans: Street Fighter 6 bans Dynamic control type. Granblue bans colors 16 & 17, Prismatic Weapon skins, and the character Lunalu. Guilty Gear Strive bans Ultimate Edition colors.
- Tekken 8 customization: No color, name, or item customization before or during a match — doing so costs a round.
Practical checklist for the event weekend
- Confirm the day and game block on the evo.gg schedule.
- Check the bracket section to see if your match or player is still active.
- Open the Streams section to find the live channel — remember there are 7.
- Review the game-specific rules above if you're competing, especially character-lock and ban lists.
The site's FAQ and Event Map sections cover venue and attendance questions that the schedule and rules pages don't.
