TGU 2026 is massive for Tekken as usual, being a Tekken World Tour Master event once more. Not only that, but it is in fact the final Tekken World Tour event of the year, meaning that once this wraps the standings for the Tekken World Tour 2026 Finals will be set in stone.
This is also a 5 Star Event on the GBVS World Tour for Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising and a Gold+ event on the Arc World Tour for Guilty Gear Strive.
As for entrant numbers, Tekken 8 unsurprisingly leads the charge with almost 200 participants, followed by Street Fighter 6 with over 160 signups.
Guilty Gear Strive mustered over 70 participants with Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls closely behind, both falling just short of 70 players.
There will also be tournament play for 2XKO and Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
Streaming is being done at Tekken, TGU Main and Team Spooky.
