2026 Esports World Cup
The 2026 Esports World Cup (EWC) was the third edition of the Esports World Cup, an annual international esports tournament series run by the Esports Foundation (EF), a nonprofit organization funded by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. It took place in Paris, France from 2 July to 23 August 2026 and featured 25 events in 24 esports. The event was scheduled to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as it had for the prior two editions and both editions of Gamers8, EWC's predecessor. However, it was moved to Paris amid security concerns related to the 2026 Iran war. This year featured one new title in the main lineup, the racing game Trackmania (2020), while Fortnite made its return to the EWC, this time using the Reload game mode.
