Riot Games has officially unveiled the full 2026 competitive roadmap for their new fighting game, 2XKO, outlining every Major and Challenger event that will make up the inaugural 2XKO Competitive Series.

Following an earlier announcement confirming Riot’s support of 20 community-run tournaments across the year, the publisher has now locked in a packed global schedule spanning North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia.

The first Major of the season is just days away, with competition set to begin at Frosty Faustings in late January.

Global Tour of Majors and Challengers

The 2026 calendar features inclusion at some of the FGC’s biggest events, including Evolution Championship Series, Combo Breaker, CEO, and Genesis, as well as European staples such as VSFighting and Evo France.

Riot confirmed that competitive events will not be tied directly to in-game seasons, a shift designed to give the developer more flexibility to support additional tournaments as the year progresses. While most dates and locations are already confirmed, Riot also noted that a small number of Challenger events scheduled for later in the year are still being finalized.

The full slate of events will take place all over the world, from Illinois to Tokyo, to Vienna, to Melbourne, before closing out the year with Battle Coliseum in São Paulo.

Frame Perfect skins to Support the Circuit

Alongside the calendar reveal, Riot also confirmed new details around Frame Perfect, a competitive-themed skin line designed to directly support the 2XKO esports ecosystem.

The first Frame Perfect bundle launches on January 29, featuring Ekko and Ahri skins, with proceeds helping to fund prize pools and tournament production for future Competitive Series events. The bundle will return to the in-game store around each Major throughout the season.

Riot has stressed that this is just the foundation for 2XKO’s competitive future, with additional information set to be announced over the coming months.

With a full year of Riot-backed tournaments and a heavy presence at the FGC’s biggest stages, 2026 is shaping up to be a true test of 2XKO as a long-term competitive fighting game, and see whether it can really break into the upper ranks of FGC esports.
