Can you see a humanoid robot fight in person before the end of 2026? What UFB, RFC and REK have published

Yes, on the promoters' own pages, but only one league has put tickets on sale for a robot fight stop, and even there the pages do not say what a ticket gets you. This is what is published as of 7 November 2026, league by league.

ULTIMATE BOTS (UFB), SAN DIEGO AND SANTA CLARA

UFB's schedule page, read on 7 November, lists Season 2 of its humanoid league starting at TwitchCon San Diego on 13 to 15 November 2026, with a "Buy tickets" link, and the home page says "Tickets on sale". The next stop, IEEE Humanoid in Santa Clara, runs 7 to 9 December 2026 and also carries a "Buy tickets" link. The page says all times are Pacific. The later stops, CES in Las Vegas (5 to 7 January 2027), Big Game Weekend in Los Angeles (11 to 13 February) and Nvidia GTC in San Jose (15 to 17 March), are marked "Tickets coming soon".

What the pages do not say: whether a convention pass includes the robot fights, whether UFB sells separate seats, what anything costs, or what time the fights start. The ticket links lead to the conventions' own pass sales, so treat a ticket as admission to the event, not as a confirmed seat at a bout, until UFB says otherwise. UFB also streams its events on Twitch (ufb0ts) and YouTube (@UFBots), so attending is not the only way to watch.

RFC, SINGAPORE

The Robot Fighting Championship's site described a three-night "Showcase" in Singapore on 11 to 13 December 2026 when Roboxing read it on 3 November, with doors at 7:00pm and a first walkout at 8:00pm and ticket tiers named general admission, Pilot Deck and VIP Ring Gallery. Tickets were marked "TBA soon" and the venue "to be announced soon". We could not load rfc.sg again on 7 November, so we cannot say whether either has changed.

REK, SAN FRANCISCO

REK has announced "REK 2.1" for 20 November. The wording of its short is "Win the sim, control a real robot", which suggests the winners of a simulator contest get to pilot a real robot. REK has not published a venue, ticketing or any statement that spectators can attend, so no in-person date is listed here.

URKL AND THE REST OF CHINA

URKL, the league run by EngineAI, has staged its public events in Shenzhen and Shanghai. A permanent humanoid robot fighting club in Shanghai's Baoshan district was described in September as due in October; we have found no report that it has opened and no ticketing. Other leagues on this site, including CyberHero, CMG2026 and Shadow Combat League, have no published public date in the period.

THE SHORT VERSION

Bookable on the promoter's own page: UFB at TwitchCon San Diego (13 to 15 November) and IEEE Humanoid in Santa Clara (7 to 9 December). Announced but without tickets or a venue: RFC's Singapore Showcase (11 to 13 December). No in-person fight published: REK 2.1 (20 November). If a league publishes a venue, time or ticket page, this guide and the schedule will be updated.
