Robot fighting
in Paris

France's first humanoid robot fighting gala takes place in Paris in January 2027. Full-size robots, piloted live by humans, in a cage, in front of a crowd and a live stream.

A robot fight, not a demo

In Paris, FCL is not showing robots that dance. Two humanoids face each other in a wire cage, each driven by a human pilot in real time. The hits land, the robots fall, and they get back up or they don't. The crowd roars, the machine takes it.

This format already fills venues in the United States and Australia. FCL brings it to Paris, with its own pilots, its own title and a league that comes back all year.

The FCL 01 gala programme

  • Doors: VIP entrance, DJ, robots on show right next to the crowd.
  • Undercard: league pilots fight for the season standings.
  • Creator fights: French YouTubers and TikTokers pilot a robot in front of their audience.
  • Main event: the first fight for the French title. The winner becomes the first FCL French champion.
  • Highlights: knockouts, slow-motion and pilot cams online within 24 hours.

Which robots fight in Paris?

Human-size Unitree humanoid robots. These machines can strike, take a hit and get back up. Between two bouts, the tech crew replaces damaged parts so the gala goes on. Everything is explained in the humanoid robot fighting guide.
