Dragon Ball FighterZ is one of the most popular anime games currently available, being a traditional 3-on-3 team 2D from Bandai Namco, in collaboration with Arc System Works. Being based on the enduringly popular Dragon Ball IP, it has seen impressive post-launch support and sales, with Dragon Ball FighterZ selling over 8 million copies last year. The game's popularity and gameplay have also seen it make waves in the fighting game community, with an active competitive scene, with FighterZ being a spotlight of various tournaments, such as EVO and Bandai Namco's own World Championship. While the initial plan for the tournament was an in-person event, this is no longer the case.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many events and organizations were forced to change how to handle its operations. Major gaming industry events had to either be scaled down or canceled outright. Some events like E3 2022 will be held online only, while others like the aforementioned EVO will be returning to a live in-person tournament. In the case of Bandai Namco's tournament, the grand finals of this championship will have to be put on hold indefinitely.
