The finals are expected to take place from 10pm ET on Sunday, and ESPN plans to air it on ESPN2 and via the ESPN application.

“Fighting games bring a tremendous level of hype and excitement, and Evo’s mission is to share that experience with fans worldwide,” Joey Cueller, president of Evo, said in a ESPN’s announcement. “We’re pleased to team up with ESPN and Disney to bring these games to new audiences.”

Street Fighter V is the largest game at Evo this year with over 2,600 players registered to compete. Pools will begin on Friday, with games being played throughout the weekend. Street Fighter V is one of nine games at the event, but is considered the main title of the whole tournament.

Fighting game fans are hoping for more announcements for Street Fighter V in the coming weeks. A hidden web page all but confirmed a new character by the name of Abigail as Street Fighter V’s new character on July 9—will we see the announcement at Evo?
