Robot fighting
in Cannes

Cannes is part of FCL's Riviera series in summer 2027. A gala of human-piloted humanoid robot fights, and private shows for the brands that keep the city busy all year.

An FCL gala in Cannes

Cannes hosts conventions, festivals and brand evenings all year. It is a natural home for a show made to be filmed and shared. The Cannes gala of the Riviera series follows the FCL format: robots on show when doors open, undercard with the league's pilots, creator fights and main event.

The fights count toward the season standings, just like those in Nice and Monaco.

Creators in the cage

Creator fights are at the heart of the FCL format: YouTubers and TikTokers at the controls of a robot, in front of their audience. In Cannes, FCL gives these fights pride of place, streamed live on the creators' channels and on the league's.

For brands

A brand can name a gala, dress the cage, put its livery on a robot or host its guests in the VIP area. During an event in Cannes, FCL can also set up a private show: exhibition fight, mini-gala or piloting session for your guests. The formats are described on the robot fight for events page. For a season partnership, use the sponsor form.

The robots and the piloting

The robots are Unitree humanoids. Each one is piloted in real time by a human, from outside the cage. The humanoid robot fighting guide answers every question about how it works.
