Let’s get ready to rumble.

Evo was canceled in 2020, and shifted to online play in 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is now officially back, and will be welcoming FGC fans to its iconic home in Las Vegas.

The event will host nine fighting game tournaments featuring new and returning game titles. The world’s best fight game competitors will be in attendance, and each game will crown one champion who will take home the lion’s share of the prize money.

Here’s everything you need to know about Evo 2022, including its schedule, format, players, and prize money.
