EVO is one of the biggest fighting game tournament events in the world, and it’s adopting an online format this year as we still battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. EVO 2021 Online is set to begin soon, so let’s dig into everything you need to know about the event.

Where to watch EVO 2021 Online

EVO 2021 Online is being broadcast entirely over on the official EVO Twitch channel. Be sure to turn on notifications, so that you’ll be made aware every time a new event is about to begin. It’s also a good idea to follow the official EVO 2, EVO 3, and EVO 5 accounts, as there’s a chance content could spill over into those channels should it become necessary.
