Red Bull Revenge Reveals Full SF6 Lineup for Tokyo Game Show 2026
**Announcement Date: August 19, 2026**
**Published: August 23, 2026**
**Event Date: September 21, 2026**
**Game: Street Fighter 6**
Red Bull has completed the lineup for its upcoming Street Fighter 6 showcase at Tokyo Game Show 2026, confirming all four rivalry matches for Red Bull Revenge.
The invitation-only event will bring eight elite players together on September 21, with every matchup built around a previous high-level encounter from Street Fighter history.
The completed lineup is:
**Big Bird vs Bonchan**
**Tokido vs MenaRD**
**Blaz vs Sahara**
**LeShar vs Kawano**
Each matchup will be played as a first-to-five set.
The concept behind Red Bull Revenge is deliberately different from a normal tournament.
Rather than building a bracket around current rankings or random seeding, Red Bull has selected players whose careers already intersected on major stages, giving every set a clear competitive history.
Big Bird and Bonchan return to a rivalry defined by the Grand Final of Evo 2019.
Big Bird entered that final as one of the tournament's breakout performers, but Bonchan completed a dramatic comeback to claim one of the biggest titles of the Street Fighter V era. Seven years later, the two will meet again in Street Fighter 6.
Tokido vs MenaRD revisits an even more historically significant result.
The pair met in the Grand Final of Capcom Cup 2017, where an 18-year-old MenaRD shocked the competitive Street Fighter scene by defeating Tokido and taking home the championship. At the time, Tokido entered as the reigning Evo champion and one of the clear favorites to win the event.
Their rematch now arrives with both players established as defining figures of modern Street Fighter competition.
The third match brings together two of SF6's younger stars.
Blaz and Sahara met in the semifinals of Capcom Cup 12 earlier this year. Sahara won that encounter before going on to capture the championship, making the TGS rematch one of the freshest rivalries on the card.
The final matchup features LeShar and Kawano.
Their previous major confrontation came during the Street Fighter League: Pro-JP 2024 Grand Final, where Kawano emerged victorious after a close battle. Red Bull is now framing the new set as LeShar's opportunity for revenge.
The combination of old and recent history gives the event an unusual range.
Some rivalries stretch back almost a decade. Others were created during the current Street Fighter 6 era.
What connects all four is unfinished competitive business.
Red Bull Revenge takes place on the Tokyo Game Show event stage on September 21. Spectators will be able to attend from the event seating area on a first-come, first-served basis, while the matches will also be streamed through Red Bull Play on YouTube and Red Bull Japan on Twitch.
There is no bracket to survive and no qualification spot at stake.
Just four long sets between players who already know exactly what it feels like to lose to the person sitting across from them.
