Ultimate Bots before Season 2: the nine events on its own calendar, July 2025 to August 2026

Before Season 2 opens at TwitchCon San Diego on 12 November, Ultimate Bots' own calendar lists nine earlier events. This is the list as ultimatebots.com/schedule gives it on 22 October, oldest first. It records dates and venues only; the page carries no results.

2025, numbered events:

UFB 1: Automata, Saturday 5 July 2025, San Francisco, Frontier Tower. UFB 2: Cyberpunk Alley, Friday 8 August 2025, San Francisco, Frontier Tower. UFB 3: Stanford vs UC Berkeley, Friday 3 October 2025, San Francisco, Frontier Tower. UFB 4: Venice LA Spectacle, Friday 17 October 2025, Venice Beach, California.

2026:

UFB 5: Humanoids vs Vegas, Tuesday 6 January 2026, Las Vegas, Battle Bots Arena.

Then the numbering stops and the page switches to "Season 1", each event tagged "Powered by Nebius":

Fight x Dance, Thursday 14 May 2026, San Francisco, Temple. Anniversary Showdown, Friday 26 June 2026, 4:30 to 8:00 PM PT, San Francisco, Temple. Open Sauce x UFB, Saturday 18 July 2026, 8:00 to 9:30 PM PT, San Mateo. Actuate x UFB, 18 to 19 August 2026, San Francisco, Fort Mason.

What the list shows: UFB ran four events in its first four months, from July to October 2025, in a single San Francisco venue and then Venice Beach, and then waited until January 2026 for a fifth in Las Vegas. From May to August 2026 it listed four events, all in the Bay Area; two are billed "x UFB" with Open Sauce and Actuate, which suggests joint appearances, though the page does not say so. Season 2 is listed differently: five stops in five cities, each a three- or four-day window, from San Diego in November to San Jose in March.

What it does not show: who fought, who won, or what the machines were at each stop. The page lists the events, not their outcomes, and we do not infer them. Season 2 teams and captains are still unpublished; see our earlier reports on the captain and team announcements.
