Evo will hold Evo Brazil from March 26 through March 28, 2027, in São Paulo, Brazil.
Evo Brazil’s first edition will feature eight fighting games: Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, Guilty Gear Strive, The King of Fighters XV, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, Mortal Kombat 1, Street Fighter 6, and Tekken 8. Evo Brazil is the tournament series’ first edition in South America and marks its expansion into Brazil.
In 2026, Evo said it planned events in Brazil, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, China, and Morocco, adding them to 2027 hosts in the United States, Japan, and Europe. Founded in 2002, the series runs international open-format competitions that let players of different skill levels compete alongside top names. That open model has operated for more than two decades.
São Paulo hosted Versus: Evo South America tournaments in 2008 and 2009. Evo general manager Rick Thiher said São Paulo has a historical relation with the fighting game genre, from arcade communities to those earlier tournaments. This follows Evo’s existing presence in the United States, Japan, and Europe and marks South America as a new region for the tournament series.
