European esports promotion and event production company NEO (New Esports Org) has officially been confirmed as the organiser of Evo France 2027. Evo, short for Evolution Championship Series, is the world’s largest and longest-running open-format fighting game tournament series.
The 2027 edition of Evo France is set to take place in Paris from October 22 to 24, 2027. However, a venue for the event has not yet been announced. The 2027 event will mark the third edition of Evo France. The first two editions were held in Nice in 2025 and 2026.
NEO (New Esports Org) said in the official announcement, “Evo France 2027 in Paris on October 22-23-24. Following two exceptional editions in Nice, Evo France is expanding in 2027 and will bring together even more fans and surprises in Paris, in an event proudly organized by NEO NEW ESPORTS ORG. for RTS. A huge thanks to the City of Nice, the Métropole Nice Côte d’Azur, and the Région Sud – Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur for these two legendary editions in 2025 and 2026.”
The announcement follows the recent conclusion of Evo France 2026, which NEO also organised in partnership with RTS, a company recently accquired by Qiddiya City after purchasing NODWIN Gaming‘s share in the property. A few days before Evo France 2026 began, NEO had also worked with Riot Games to put out a 2XKO’s hype trailer for that edition of the event.
NEO’s work in French esports is not limited to Evo France. The organisation is also in discussions with Riot Games and local stakeholders to explore a new operational model for the Ligue Française de League of Legends (LFL), following reports that long-time operator Webedia is set to step down after the 2026 season. Separately, NEO already has an existing partnership with Riot Games as it currently manages the operations of League of Legends EMEA Game Changers Rising.
