Capcom Pro Tour 2022 - Schedule, format, prize pool, how to watch

The Capcom Pro Tour 2022 will be the last time Street Fighter V will feature as the main competition for the company's most prestigious fighting game circuit, as SF6 looms on the horizon.

As such, Capcom is looking to give SFV a proper sendoff, with this year's CPT leading up to the long-awaited return of the Capcom Cup, which has been absent since 2019 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Players all over the world will get to compete in regional events to earn a spot in Capcom Cup. With more than a dozen events spread out across the globe, true to Street Fighter's nature, CPT is trying to find out the best world warriors to crown one as a winner. Let's take a look at everything you need to know about the Capcom Pro Tour in 2022.

CPT 2022 - Schedule

The Capcom Pro Tour will run from June until December. A few events have been played already, crowning four regional champions, however, from now on, we'll have a CPT event almost every other week.

There are three main ways players can earn their spot at Capcom Cup. Online qualifiers, offline premier tournaments, and a new system called the World Warrior regional program.

First, here is the full list of upcoming online qualifiers.

• 11th June - Japan 
• 9th July - South America West 
• 16th July - Asia Southeast
• 30th July - Central America East
• 13th August - Australia
• 20th August - Central America West
• 27th August - South Africa
• 3rd September - Brazil

• 15th October - Asia
• 22nd October - Europe West
• 29th October - Middle East
• 5th November - Asia East
