Tekken World Tour 2026 to commence in May and end in November

On top of crowning the 2025 Tekken World Tour champion at the finals in Malmo over the weekend, Bandai Namco also took the opportunity to share information about the next season and phase of competitive Tekken 8 action.

As soon as May, the Tekken World Tour will return for its 2026 season, with the first event being at Evo Japan on May 1. It will then offer tons of other events before eventually concluding for a more succinct season at TGU 2026 in Thailand. Looking at what is planned in between, the full schedule of events for the 2026 Tekken World Tour can be seen below.

• May 1-3: EVO Japan 2026 (Master+) - Japan
