It became known where exactly Esports World Cup 2026 will take place

Esports World Cup 2026 will not be moved to France after all and will remain in Saudi Arabia.

This information appeared in the new trailer, where Riyadh was listed as the host city. The organizers’ statement disproves the rumors claiming that the esports championship would supposedly be moved to France.

The tournaments themselves will last for almost two months and will feature competitions across multiple esports disciplines.

The total prize pool of the event is $75 million, which dozens of teams from around the world will compete for.

The championship will be opened by the Dota 2 tournament, which is expected to begin already on July 6.
