CS2 Esports World Cup 2026

The 2026 Esports World Cup is an upcoming multi-game esports tournament held in Paris, France, hosted by the Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF) and ESL FACEIT Group. It is the second edition of the Esports World Cup, a tournament series announced in late 2023 as a rebranding and expansion of Gamers8. Each game has its own independent structure for qualifying, but the championship series for each title forms part of the Esports World Cup. Alongside the competitions in the games, there is a Club Competition across all games for participating organizations.
