NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 10, 2026) — Dude Perfect is bringing its biggest live production yet to arenas nationwide this summer, with more than 35 athletes, creators, and celebrities competing alongside the Dudes throughout the 2026 Squad Games Tour. The 22-city tour runs June 25 through August 2, featuring a fully immersive 360° arena experience that brings fans closer to the action than ever before.

The guest lineup spans a mix of top digital creators, musicians, professional athletes, and live entertainment acts, reflecting the broader convergence of sports, creator culture, and fandom. It also includes a collection of YouTube’s most well-known trick shot artists, bringing the category that helped define Dude Perfect into the live arena. From creators and performers like GOOD GOOD, Zach King, and Brandon Lake, to athletes like Ben Roethlisberger and Tim Tebow, alongside members of performance-driven teams like the Harlem Globetrotters and the

Savannah Bananas, the tour brings together talent from across platforms and disciplines into a single, high-energy competition format.

As the leading creator-led sports and entertainment company with 115M+ followers and 20B+ views, Dude Perfect has expanded into a multi-platform business spanning video, live experiences, and products. Building on the 2025 HERO Tour, which drew more than 200,000 fans, the Squad Games Tour reflects a scaled evolution of that model, with a focus on bringing its content to life in a more interactive live setting. Key elements include:

• 360° competition format: The arena floor is turned into a central playing field, with games like “Giant Basketball Slingshot” and “Go Kart Soccer” designed for full visibility and engagement from every seat, reflecting a shift toward more immersive, arena-scale formats that mirror live sports production.

• Special guest participation throughout the show: Athletes, creators, and celebrities are embedded across the full run-of-show, pointing to a new model where talent is integrated into the core experience rather than used as one-off appearances.

• Deeper in-person fan engagement: Building on last year’s tour, the show expands how fans take part in real time, translating Dude Perfect’s participatory digital content into a live format and reinforcing the demand for more interactive sports entertainment.

• Expanded pre-show fan zone: The Fan Zone returns at a larger scale, giving families hands-on ways to play together through trick shots and challenges and extending Dude Perfect’s mission to inspire play beyond the screen.

• Connecting the Dude Perfect ecosystem: The “Almost Athletes” podcast is integrated through a VIP lounge and in-show segment, extending the brand across formats and showing how Dude Perfect is building a connected, multi-platform experience around its IP.

The Squad Games Tour reflects how creator-led entertainment is moving beyond the screen and into live, shared experiences, with Dude Perfect leading that shift by bringing digital fandom into the real world in a fun, high-energy format way families can enjoy together.
