What is Evo France 2026?

Evo France 2026 is a fighting game tournament held at Palais des Expositions - Nice Acropolis from Friday, October 9 to Sunday, October 11, 2026. The evo.gg site is the event's information hub: it publishes the schedule, the game-by-game rules, bracket information, stream listings, an event map, and FAQs. If you are planning to attend, compete, or just watch, this is where the official details live.

What the site covers

The page organizes event information into a few clear blocks:

• Schedule — the Evo France 2026 schedule, listed alongside the event dates.
• Bracket information — how the competition brackets are structured.
• Streams — a stream listing, with a stated total of 07 streams.
• Game rules — separate rule sets for each title on the lineup.
• Event map — a map of the venue layout.
• FAQs — answers to common attendee questions.

Games and rules

Each game has its own rules section on the page. The confirmed titles and their key conditions:

Rules worth noting before you enter

A few conditions repeat across titles and are easy to miss:

• Winner stays on character. In Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, and Guilty Gear Strive, the winner of the previous game must keep the same character; the loser may switch.
• Stage selection is random, though players may opt for an agreed stage. In Street Fighter 6, the Training Room stage is banned from tournament play.
• Cosmetic restrictions apply. Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising bans colors 16 and 17 and Prismatic Weapon skins, and bans the character Lunalu. Guilty Gear Strive bans Ultimate Edition colors. Tekken 8 prohibits customizing colors, names, or items at any time before or during a match — doing so costs a round.
• Tekken 8 defers to Tekken World Tour rules where the two conflict.
• Street Fighter 6 specifics: pause menu on long hold is ON, input delay reduction is ON, and Dynamic control type is banned. In-battle accessibility settings may be turned on if the tournament organizer deems them physically necessary.

Practical takeaways

• Dates and venue are fixed: October 9–11, 2026, at Palais des Expositions - Nice Acropolis. The page also shows an "OPEN Nice Oct 08 - 11" label, so check the schedule section for what happens on October 8 if you are arriving early.
• Bring your own controller. Every listed game runs on PlayStation 5 and requires players to supply their own controller.
• Check your game's rule block individually. Set lengths differ — Granblue runs 3/5 throughout, while Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and Avatar Legends use 2/3 until Top 8.
• Use the FAQ and event map for logistics questions the rules sections don't answer.

The page does not list ticket prices, registration fees, or entry requirements, so those details are not available from this source.
