Street Fighter League Americas Finals Hit Anime Pasadena on November 8

REPORTED Written by GPN · Nov 7, 2026, 5:44 AM ET · Street Fighter 6 · Gaming

The Street Fighter League: Americas season reaches its finals on Sunday, November 8, with the playoffs playing out live from Anime Pasadena. The bracket starts at 4:00 PM PST, streaming on Capcom Fighters on Twitch, and the season's champion will be crowned the same day.

Bandits head into the finals as the team to beat. After the final day of group play on November 6, Bandits sit top of the standings at 7-1 with 230 points, ahead of 2Game Esports and Shopify Rebellion, who both finished 6-2 on 220 points. FlyQuest finished fourth at 3-5, followed by BAIT at 2-6 and Red Rooster Team at 0-8.

The group stage ran across five days, October 23 to 25 and November 6 to 7, with six teams battling in a double round robin: Bandits, FlyQuest, Shopify Rebellion, 2Game Esports, Red Rooster Team and BAIT. The rosters are stacked with familiar names, including Punk, NuckleDu and DualKevin for Shopify Rebellion, Riddles and Samurai for FlyQuest, and Enzo and NoahTheProdigy for Bandits.

The finals use a longer format than the group stage. Playoff sets are played first-to-70 points in a bracket, and the two teams left standing meet in a first-to-90 grand final to decide the Americas title. The matches keep the league's team-battle structure, with players sent out in order and eliminated as they lose, until one team's whole roster is gone.

8BitDo is the presenting sponsor for the Americas season, backing the league alongside its EMEAA counterpart. With the group stage done, everything now comes down to one day in Pasadena.
