A league, not a one-off show
Until now, watching a humanoid robot fight in Europe meant waiting for a one-off event, like the one in Zurich in 2026. FCL changes the rhythm: galas that come back, pilots who stack up wins, season standings and a French champion's belt.
In the United States and Australia, humanoid robot fighting leagues already fill venues. FCL brings the sport to France, Monaco, Switzerland and Romania.
The FCL calendar
Exact dates and venues are announced to subscribers first, then on Instagram @fclbots. Switzerland then Romania follow, with an option on Belgium.
What you see at a gala
- The robots up close when doors open, before they step into the cage.
- The undercard: league pilots fight for the standings.
- Creator fights: YouTubers and TikTokers at the controls of a humanoid.
- The main event: the fight for the French champion's title.
Every act is detailed on the gala format page.
Why humanoid robots?
The robot fights most people know, like Robot Wars or BattleBots, pit wheeled machines armed with blades or hammers against each other. At FCL, the robots have two arms and two legs, and they box. They fall, get back up, take hits. The show is close to a combat sport, with a human pilot behind every machine. The humanoid robot fighting guide explains it all in detail.
Take part in the league
FCL recruits pilots, welcomes content creators, looks for partner brands and runs private shows for companies.
