In 2015 the first Red Bull Kumite competition took place in Paris, where it remained until 2018. Then, in 2019, in honour of “the spiritual home to Street Fighter,” the competition was moved to Japan. Finally, after a short break due to Covid, the competition moved to London (May 2021) and then hopped across the ocean to Las Vegas (Nov 2021). Red Bull Kumite is returning, and the two-day tournament is taking place in South Africa! It will bring together 16 of the best Street Fighter competitors who will battle live for the bragging rights of winning the first major Street Fighter 6 tournament.

16 Players will go head-to-head in a massive event, closed off in a cage where they will stay locked until one claims victor. 15 Players will be invited directly to the event, and one will join as a Last Chance Qualifier.
The event has collaborated with several industry-leading partners to provide the competitors with the best hardware. AOC, the global leader in gaming monitors, has joined the event as the Official Monitor Partner and will provide monitors from their AGON series to provide competitors with ultra-high resolution rates and exceptional visual clarity.
Those participating in the standout tournament will be announced in a few weeks. YOU can sign up for a chance to participate in Red Bull Kumite here from 17:00 on 12 May.
