EWCF Unveils New Esports Competitions for National Teams
The Esports Nations Cup of the Esports World Cup Foundation will kick off in November 2026 in Riyadh and will then take place every two years at different locations. Confirmed partners include Electronic Arts, Krafton, Tencent, and Ubisoft.
The announcement was made during the New Global Sport Conference in Riyadh: EWCF has announced that the Esports Nations Cup (ENC) will be held for the first time in November 2026. This is a new esports format in which esports athletes do not compete for their respective clubs and organizations, but as representatives of their country. The ENC is therefore similar to a soccer World Cup, while the Esports World Cup is more like the Club World Cup or the Olympic Games.
