The TEKKEN World Tour 2026 Global Finals location has been revealed!
At Evo 2026, we revealed the location and dates of the TEKKEN World Tour 2026 Global Finals, happening in Singapore from January 14-17, 2027. Collaborating with Evo Singapore, TEKKEN fans can experience an exciting weekend of TEKKEN 8 action as top players from all over the world come together to compete for the title of TEKKEN World Tour 2026 Champion.
Paths to the Finals
Once we reach the end of the TWT season on November 15th, the leaderboard will be finalized and points from all event tiers will be calculated on the Esports Tournament Portal. We’ve previously discussed in detail how players can qualify for the TWT 2026 Global Finals on the Official TEKKEN Blog, so head there if you need a refresher.
Finals Schedule
January 14 – Global Group Stage
The Global Group Stage includes players from the Global Leaderboard, the Master+ Champions, and the LCQ Champion, and features 16 players in 4 groups of 4. Top 2 from each group advance to the Finals Bracket on Sunday (8 players total).
January 15th – Regional Group Stage
15 players from the top Slot of their Regional Leaderboard will battle it out in 3 groups of 5. Top 1 from each group will advance to Day 4 (3 players total).
January 16th – Last Chance Qualifier
Any player who did not qualify for the Global Finals or did not make it through the Global Finals Group Stages will battle it out for a Last Chance at the Finals Bracket. Only one will win and make it to the Finals Bracket (1 player).
January 17th – Finals Bracket
The Finals Bracket will feature all players who made it out of the Global and Regional Group Stages, and the Top 4 players from the Global Leaderboard.
Slot Reallocation
Because TEKKEN World Tour is a circuit that provides players with a variety of routes to Global Finals qualification, there may be a situation where a single player is qualified through two or more different ways. However, a player cannot hold more than one qualifying slot, so here is how slot reallocation will work:
Global Slot Reallocation
If a Master+ Champion or the EWC champion has already secured qualification through another path, the Player will only occupy one Finals slot and an additional qualifying slot will be added to the Global Leaderboard.
Regional Slot Reallocation
If the #1 Player in a Regional Leaderboard is already qualified through a Global Qualification slot, the Regional Qualification Slot passes down to the next eligible player in that Region’s Leaderboard.
