UFB's Season 2 opens at TwitchCon San Diego on 13 November: what is confirmed, and what is not, the day before
UFB's schedule gives 13-15 November in San Diego. As of 12 November it has published no start time, card, pairings or stream schedule for the opener.
Ultimate Bots (UFB) opens its Season 2 at TwitchCon San Diego on Friday 13 November 2026, according to its own schedule page. As of 12 November, the day before, UFB has not published when its fights will happen or who will fight. This is what is confirmed and what is not.
CONFIRMED BY UFB'S SCHEDULE PAGE
ultimatebots.com/schedule, read on 12 November 2026, lists Season 2's first stop as TwitchCon San Diego, 13 to 15 November 2026, in San Diego, California, with a "Buy tickets" link. The page says all times are Pacific. The four later stops it lists are IEEE Humanoid in Santa Clara (7 to 9 December 2026), CES in Las Vegas (5 to 7 January 2027), Big Game Weekend in Los Angeles (11 to 13 February 2027) and Nvidia GTC in San Jose (15 to 17 March 2027). UFB's earlier pages gave 12 to 15 November for the opener; the current page gives 13 to 15.
CONFIRMED BY TWITCHCON
TwitchCon's published show hours, read on 9 November, are Friday 13 November 10am to 7pm, Saturday 14 November 10am to 7pm and Sunday 15 November 10am to 6pm, Pacific, with Thursday 12 November marked as wristband pickup only. Any UFB fight held on the convention floor would have to fall inside those hours.
NOT PUBLISHED
On the pages we could read on 12 November, UFB has not published a start time, a fight card, pairings, or a stream schedule for the opener. TwitchCon's schedule page text mentions neither UFB nor robots, but part of that page appears to load with scripts, so that is unverified rather than proof that no UFB session exists. UFB's pages also do not say whether a TwitchCon pass is needed to see its fights.
WHAT UFB HAS POSTED RECENTLY
UFB's newest YouTube uploads are a run of short clips from its TED appearance. The latest, on 9 November, is "Pro Dancer teaches a Robot some moves", which the description says shows a dancer from Oakland whose moves UFB turned into robot motion. None of the recent uploads announces a fight, a date or a card.
WHERE TO WATCH
UFB says it streams on Twitch (twitch.tv/ufb0ts) and YouTube (@UFBots). The Twitch channel page loads, but whether the opener will be streamed live, and when, has not been stated.
THE FORMAT, AS UFB DESCRIBES IT
Season 2 has four permanent teams on league-assigned Unitree G1 robots, scored across martial arts, dancing and an obstacle course, for a $100,000 season prize pool. Fights are piloted by people rather than run autonomously.
Elsewhere, nothing new was found on 12 November from REK, Shadow Combat League, EngineAI or Unitree. Roboxing will update the schedule when UFB publishes a time.
