The Esports World Cup was created with a long-term vision to become a global platform for esports, bringing the event to major cities around the world over time, and the decision to host the 2026 edition in Paris reflects that vision.
Uniting the world’s top players, Clubs, publishers, and fans across seven weeks of elite competition and delivering an event at that scale requires the right host environment every year.
After close coordination with stakeholders across the ecosystem, and in light of the current regional situation, Paris was selected for EWC 2026 because it provides the international accessibility, infrastructure, and competitive conditions needed to deliver the event at full global scale, while also providing incredible local support and a passionate community of fans.
While Paris will host the 2026 edition, Riyadh remains central to the event’s long-term future with the intention to return in 2027.
