It’s a huge year for the Evolution Fighting Championships at EVO 2023. Street Fighter 6 is having its inaugural year of competition on the main stage, Guilty Gear Strive is still going strong, and it’s very likely Tekken 7 and Mortal Kombat 11’s last rides at this event. There’s a lot to see, and that’s not even including the reveals that usually happen alongside EVO. That’s why you won’t want to miss EVO 2023, and we’ve got the details on where you can catch it, when, what’s being played, and what’s on the line.
