Tekken World Tour Finals 2025 Roster Finalized

With the 2025 regular season officially concluded, the stage is set for the Tekken World Tour Finals 2025. The complete roster of elite players is locked in and preparing to compete for the world championship title next month in Malmö, Sweden.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mulgold secures the #1 Global Seed after a dominant season.
  • Arslan Ash, Knee, and ULSAN headline a stacked bracket of returning legends and top contenders.
  • Malmö, Sweden hosts the Global Finals from January 29 to February 1, 2026.

The Road to Malmö: Roster Locked

The gruelling 2025 season has concluded, and the field for the Tekken World Tour Finals 2025 is now set. Following the final Master event at Thaiger Uppercut in late November, Bandai Namco has locked in the top 20 players from the Global Leaderboard and the 15 champions from the Regional Leaderboards. These competitors will converge in Malmö, Sweden, early next year to determine the undisputed King of the Iron Fist.

South Korea's Mulgold finished atop the Global Leaderboard, earning the prestigious first seed. He is joined in the top ranks by Pakistan's Arslan Ash and ATIF, cementing Pakistan's continued dominance in the Tekken 8 meta.

The roster also features FGC titans such as Knee, ULSAN, and Nobi, ensuring a clash of generations and styles. While the global heavyweights secured their spots through consistent performances at Master and Challenger events, the Regional Leaderboard winners fought through localized gauntlets to earn their tickets to Sweden.

The Tekken World Tour Finals 2025 will utilize a hybrid format designed to test consistency and clutch factor.

  • Group Stage (Jan 29-30): The bottom 16 global qualifiers will be split into four groups on Day 1, while the 15 regional qualifiers will form three separate groups on Day 2.
