Evolution 2019, or simply EVO 2019, will be the 18th edition of the Evolution Championship Series, a fighting game tournament held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. EVO 2019 is scheduled to take place on August 2nd to 4th, 2019, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center. It was announced on February 26th, by EVO's tournament director Joey "Mr. Wizard" Cuellar, that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would make its debut as an official game on the EVO 2019 game lineup. While it was confirmed to replace Smash Wii U if it released in time in 2018, this will be the first EVO post-release. Notably, for the first time since EVO 2012, Super Smash Bros. Melee was not revealed to be in the lineup—although Melee will still be present as a side event on August 3rd—making EVO 2019 the first one since 2014 to feature only one Smash game at EVO instead of two. Ultimate will run on version 3.1.0, rather than running on 4.0.0 with Hero, due to the update being released after the cutoff date for patches and being a few days before the tournament.
It is currently the largest Smash tournament of all time, with 3,522 entrants signed up for Ultimate.

Trivia
- Due to flight issues, LeoN was unable to attend the tournament, where he was seeded to eventually face MkLeo. In what was dubbed by some as the "Bowser curse", none of the Bowser players that had their matches shown on the official EVO Twitch stream won their sets.
- Raito is the only returning player from EVO 2018 that placed Top 8 in the singles tournaments for both Smash 4 and Smash Ultimate.
- Coincidentally, this is also the second year in a row Dabuz placed just outside of Top 8 and got 9th for both games.
- As there was only one official EVO stream for the Ultimate tournament, players like Hungrybox and ZeRo went out of their way to provide the results of numerous off-stream sets via Twitter and Twitch, respectively. This led to praise from the community for their efforts.
- After Mr.R lost to ProtoBanham, he pointed out that Proto had been looking at his phone in the middle of the set and asked if there was a ruling on it (due to the possibility of mid-set coaching, though Proto was apparently looking up kill combos for Inkling). After asking Bear (who helped direct the tournament), Bear told him that there was no such ruling and that the set was legitimate. Although some accused him of being a sore loser, he later confirmed on Twitter that he had no intention of replaying the set and was surprised that no such measure was put in place beforehand.
- With Mew2King and his Smash protégé Wizzrobe both placing 49th, Plup was the highest-placing player in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate singles that is otherwise known for being a professional Super Smash Bros. Melee player, placing 17th.
- This tournament marks the worst placement for a number of players in a Smash Ultimate tournament:
