About This Event
Founded in 2015 by the Copenhagen and Malmö fighting game communities under the Co-Ma FGC banner, Headstomper 2026 marks the eighth offline edition of Scandinavia's flagship tournament. Returning to its longtime hotel venue one train stop from Copenhagen Airport, the event follows a 2025 installment that drew 526 attendees and 116 Street Fighter 6 competitors.
The Street Fighter 6 tournament runs as an independent double-elimination main event on PlayStation 5. Each entrant's €10 game fee builds the prize pot, which is distributed to the top four finishers on a 50/25/15/10 percent split.
