The Esports World Cup is back — bigger, tougher, and ready to take over Paris. From August 12–23, 32 teams will compete for a massive $2,000,000 prize pool. Falcons, Vitality, FURIA, Spirit, NAVI, G2, MOUZ, FaZe, The MongolZ, and other world-class contenders are all heading into the fight.
The tournament begins with a double-elimination group stage, where every defeat pushes teams closer to elimination. The survivors advance to the single-elimination playoffs, culminating in a best-of-five Grand Final. With elite rosters, dangerous challengers, and no room for mistakes, Paris is set for twelve days of incredible aim, game-changing clutches, and high-pressure Counter-Strike.
Get ready for world-class Counter-Strike and experience every unforgettable moment of Esports World Cup 2026!
