The first three days of Capcom Cup 12 are now in the books, and the competition has been whittled down to the last 16 players left standing.
With the finals coming later this evening, there are a few different options to watch the Capcom Cup finale through both paid and free means.
Obviously, Capcom is pushing their pay-per-view option for the first time, which hasn’t gone over too well with Street Fighter 6’s western fanbase.
Tickets to view the event live are being sold through the SPWN streaming service, but it’s clearly geared more to the Japanese audience considering the prices are all listed in yen even after changing the website to English.
For just the Capcom Cup top 16 or Street Fighter League finals, tickets are priced at 900 yen or around $5.64 USD (though make sure you choose the English broadcast option).
They’re also offering a bundle for both finals that costs 1,500 yen or $9.39.
Since these events will be taking place pretty late for those of us in North America, SPWN tickets allow you to watch the tournament archives until March 22.
And for those not looking to spend any money, there are a few routes to take as well.
The main option is watching through Street Fighter 6 itself.
Players can view the finals matches in the Battle Hub through the recently added stream feature though there’s a few caveats to that.
Capcom says the Battle Hub stream will not feature play-by-play commentary plus there could be unexpected interruptions, and the servers may have a limited capacity — so some users may not be able to get in.
While we haven’t confirmed this yet for ourselves, Kuaishou is reportedly also broadcasting the Capcom Cup finals for free, however, it’s limited to those in China (or perhaps if you use a VPN).
Capcom Cup Final streams FOR FREE on Kuaishou 快手, which is the owner of KSG, Xiaohai’s previous team.
It is of course limited to IPs in mainland China.
Get your VPN ready and prepare to learn some Chinese.
It’s super concise, perfect for high intensity commentaries. https://t.co/ksh40EQVd0

If none of the above options are appealing to you, there is another, but you’ll have to wait for it.
Capcom Fighters will stream the event again on Twitch and YouTube starting on March 29 for the Capcom Cup top 16 and March 28 for the Street Fighter League finals.
It’ll be interesting to see just how this pay-per-view push works for Capcom, but the success or failure may likely depend on the Japanese audience specifically.
The Capcom Cup top 16 finals are scheduled to begin tonight at 7 p.m. PT / 10 p.m. ET.
You can find all of the information about watching the finals in Street Fighter 6’s Battle Hub below.
During the final two days when the broadcast shifts to a pay-per-view format, you will still be able to watch the matches for free by going in-game in Street Fighter 6 and entering the battle hub. Below are the official instructions on how to do so from Capcom themselves.
The top 16 for Capcom Cup 12 and the Street Fighter League World Championship 2025 Finals are streaming live in the Battle Hub!
• As a trial measure, the stream may be interrupted without warning.
• This livestream uses Twitch’s streaming feature, and thus viewing restrictions and stream quality will depend on your setup.
• The livestream does not feature play-by-play commentary.
• Please do not mirror the Battle Hub livestream.
• On the day of the event, you may not be able to enter the Battle Hub and unable to watch the livestream due to server capacity limits.
During this broadcast, the giant monitor in the Battle Hub will have a broadcast with audio that can be heard throughout the Battle Hub.
You can adjust options related to this in livestream by heading to:
Options > Audio > Other and Battle Hub Livestream Sound Settings.
By sitting at the seats in front of the giant monitor, the livestream size will increase, making it easier to view.
On Friday, March 13th, 2026 at 7 p.m. Pacific time, users can log into Street Fighter 6’s Battle Hub, which is accessible from one of the game’s main menu screens, to watch the Capcom Cup 12 Top 16 play out.
The following day, Saturday, March 14th, 2026 at 6 p.m. Pacific time, users can visit Street Fighter 6’s Battle Hub, to view the Street Fighter League: World Championship 2025 matches.
