EWC 2026 has confirmed a diverse slate of titles across mobile, PC, and console, including PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, Mobile Legends, VALORANT, League of Legends, Counter-Strike 2, DOTA 2, Fortnite, among others.

If approved, two Indian organizations could join S8UL Esports as club partners, expanding India’s participation and opportunities in the festival.

The festival runs from early July to late August 2026, spanning seven weeks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to support large-scale productions and multiple concurrent events.

GodLike Esports and Revenant XSpark have submitted applications for the EWC 2026 Club Partner Program, following S8UL Esports’ participation in 2025.

The prize pool exceeds $70 million, underscoring EWC as one of the industry's richest events, with notable boosts including $750,000 for Counter-Strike 2 and a Rainbow Six Siege qualifier path toward Six Invitational.

Revenant XSpark, led by Rohit Jagasia with ScoutOP as brand ambassador, fields squads in BGMI, VALORANT, Pokémon Unite, Free Fire MAX, and MOBA Legends 5v5.

The Club Championship will feature 40 organizations competing across titles, with auto-qualified teams from EWC 2025 and remaining slots filled through a formal selection process; applications close soon in January 2026.

EWC 2026 is the third edition of the EWCF-sanctioned festival, emphasizing a festival format that aggregates results across games into a single Club Championship.

Clubs can access six-figure funding through a $20 million pool dedicated to the Club Program.

Broadcast coverage will span TikTok, Twitch, YouTube, and game-specific channels, with on-site experiences and ticketing handled through official EWC platforms in Riyadh.

While ScoutOP announced the applications during a livestream, official confirmation from the Esports World Cup Foundation is still pending.

An official confirmation of EWC 2026 could boost Indian sponsorships and accelerate the country’s esports ecosystem, enabling more players to compete globally.
