Time really does fly when you're having fun. Week 4 marks the halfway point of the Esports World Cup 2026, and Fan Fest is showing no signs of slowing down. Whether you want to jump into the action, challenge other fans, complete EWC Play Quests, or meet some of gaming's biggest names, there's something for everyone throughout the week.
Team up with heroes
Overwatch takes over the Community House this week. Team up with friends or challenge fellow fans in free-play sessions throughout the week, then put your skills to the test in mini tournaments.
As the competition builds toward the Grand Final, the Community House will also host watch parties, giving fans a front-row seat to the biggest moments of the tournament.
Weibo Gaming and ZETA DIVISION
China's Weibo Gaming and Japan's ZETA DIVISION are taking over the International Club Houses this week. With both clubs competing in Overwatch, fans can jump into head-to-head matches, test themselves in Overwatch Mystery Heroes, and celebrate alongside two of the world's top esports organizations. ZETA DIVISION is also rewarding challenge winners throughout the week with special PlayStation 5 controllers.
Keep an eye out throughout the week, too, as players from both teams will be stopping by for meet-and-greets with fans.
EA SPORTS FC 26 returns
EA SPORTS FC 26 is back for a second week, giving fans another chance to sharpen their skills. Step back onto the virtual pitch to earn EWC Play Quest XP while competing in mini-games, challenges, and matches. Fans can also create their own personalized Football Ultimate Team card to take home as a unique Fan Fest souvenir.
If your football talents shine brighter off the controller, you can also take on real-world football skill challenges and competitions to show off your footwork.
