CEO 2025 is going to a huge fighting game event, with all the major games getting tournaments here. It’s the fifteenth version of the tournament series and Community Effort Orlando is still growing. This year, we’ve got new tournaments for the biggest fighters like SF 6 but also classic games, SF 3, Guilty Gear X, and more. Pretty much every fighter is here in one form or another.
This year, CEO is even bigger as the tournament is serving as a qualifier for major circuits like the Capcom Cup. What can we expect at CEO 2025 and how can you follow the tournaments? This is how it’ll all work:

The series has been running in Orlando Florida since 2010. It’s back in 2025, with a three-day event taking place over June 13-15th. In this time, we’ll see a bunch of full tournaments and a handful of smaller fighting games getting a side tournament too. Each with a final played in the ring.
Each of the big games are going to be played in an opening pools round, and then. Double Elimination Bracket. With so many titles featured it’ll be tricky to catch the full event for each game, but fans of multiple fighters can stick to the finals if they want to catch every deciding game.
