Red Bull Kumite returns to its birthplace in Paris April 5-6, 2025, marking the 10th anniversary of the premier invitational Street Fighter tournament that has electrified fans worldwide since its debut in 2015.

The event pits Team Legends — featuring established icons such as Daigo “Diago” Umehara, Masato “Bonchan”  Takahashi, and Saul “MenaRD” Mena II — against the emerging force of Team Underdogs, led by rising star Li Joe and including talents like Noah “NoahTheProdigy” Solis and Kilyan “Kilzyou.” The tournament’s single-elimination format, complemented by a unique cage-stage setup, is expected to deliver high-stakes, intense gameplay.

Broadcast viewers can catch the action live on Red Bull Gaming’s Twitch and YouTube channels, with coverage set to begin at 11:30 BST/12:30 CEST on April 5 for the Play-In Tournament. This preliminary round, conducted in a double-elimination format among eight qualifiers, will decide one spot in the Main Event. The Main Event, slated for April 6, will feature 16 competitors — 14 invited players plus winners from the LCQ and Play-In rounds — battling it out in a best-of-nine, single-elimination bracket.

The broadcast team boasts veteran commentators alongside new faces. Returning talents include Rob “RobTV” Ciaramelli, Joe “LI Joe” Ciaramelli, Samad “Damascus” Abdessadki, and Justin “JWong” Wong. New additions, such as legendary player Hajime “Tokido” Taniguchi and French FGC icons Ken Bogard and Kayane, will offer expert insights and in-depth game analysis.

Red Bull Kumite 2025 is supported by key sponsors, including AOC and PlayStation, with AOC’s AGON by AOC brand highlighted for its high-performance gaming monitors and accessories, and PlayStation promoting its PS5 Tournaments that unite gamers of all levels. Red Bull Kumite 2025 promises an epic clash between legendary street fighters and tomorrow’s icons, delivering non-stop action for the global gaming community.
