RFC lists its first card, RFC 01, for 12 December 2026; venue not yet announced

The Robot Fighting Championship (RFC), the Singapore-registered league that previewed piloted humanoid fights on 9 October, now lists its first full card on its own website: RFC 01, on Saturday 12 December 2026. As of 26 October 2026 the date comes from RFC alone, and the venue has not been announced.

WHAT RFC'S SITE SAYS

The site, rfc.sg, counts down to "Next show, 12 December 2026". Its fight-night section gives doors at 7:00pm and the first walkout at 8:00pm, a format of piloted humanoid bouts over three rounds under an RFC ruleset, and ticket tiers called general admission, Pilot Deck and VIP Ring Gallery, sold through Luma. The location is given as "to be announced soon", so the time zone of those clock times is not known. No fighters, bouts or ticket prices are listed; the roster section says "coming soon".

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE NIGHT

RFC says a prize pool will be announced at the event and that entries to its "Team Forming" programme open on the night. The site shows a placeholder where the amount would go, so Roboxing does not report a figure.

HOW TEAMS GET IN

The site offers two packages for teams that want a fighter on an RFC card. "Robot Only" is USD 90,000 and includes one EngineAI T800, delivery, 12 months of maintenance and development, and eligibility once the robot is homologated; it does not include pilot training or engineering support. "Team Forming" is USD 120,000 per team for the first 12 months and adds pilot training on RFC's control rig, in-house developer and engineer support, and team livery. These are RFC's own offers; Roboxing has not seen a signed team.

HOW THE FIGHTS WORK

RFC describes a trained martial artist strapped into a control rig, with the robot mirroring every move in real time. The 9 October showcase, by contrast, used VR headsets, as Roboxing reported at the time, so it is not yet clear which setup RFC 01 will use.

THE LONGER PLAN

The site's "Road to 2028" timeline lists the October debut as delivered, RFC 01 on 12 December, robot delivery and pilot training in the first quarter of 2027, ranked multi-city cards in 2027, and a target of 100 league teams in 2028. Those are targets, not commitments.

WHAT IS NOT KNOWN

Venue and city, the card, the pilots, how to watch (no broadcast partner is named), ticket prices, and whether any other outlet has confirmed the date. Roboxing has added RFC 01 to the schedule with the date marked as RFC's, the start time to be confirmed, and the confidence set to reported.
