About This Event
DreamHack Atlanta 2026 brings the world's largest gaming lifestyle festival back to the American South. Scheduled for May 15 through May 17, 2026, the event takes place at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, serving as the festival's only U.S. stop of the year.
For the fighting game community, DreamHack Atlanta 2026 is a must-attend stop on the competitive calendar. With open brackets, high-stakes qualifiers, and a venue packed with thousands of fellow competitors and fans, the event delivers a full FGC weekend experience in the heart of Atlanta.
Road to EWC: FGC Qualifiers
The centerpiece of the FGC programming is the Road to EWC, a series of open qualifiers feeding directly into the Esports World Cup 2026. Competitors will battle for coveted EWC spots across three major fighting titles: Street Fighter 6, TEKKEN 8, and Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, making this one of the most consequential FGC stops of the 2026 season.
Beyond the Brackets
Outside of tournament competition, DreamHack Atlanta offers the full festival experience. Attendees can explore a massive expo floor, an Artist Alley, a cosplay championship, and a Creator Hub, with the DreamHack Stage hosting community programming and panels throughout the weekend.
Registration
Tickets for DreamHack Atlanta 2026 are available through the official DreamHack website via Tixr. General admission passes grant access to the full festival floor, expo, and spectator areas. Players competing in open tournaments, including the Road to EWC FGC qualifiers, can register through their respective event pages on the DreamHack Atlanta site.
