Esports World Cup 2026 Titles Revealed; Four More to Come

We may still be a ways away from the start of the event, but the Esports World Cup has already announced its lineup of game titles for 2026. Set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between July and August of next year, the EWC 2026 will feature a total of 24 titles; 20 of which have now been announced. The remaining 4 will be revealed at a later date, keeping fans intrigued for what's to come.

Esports World Cup 2026: Titles Revealed

The 20 titles revealed for the EWC 2026 will include some of the biggest games on the planet when it comes to esports. You can find the full lineup below:

Next year's edition of the Esports World Cup will see the return of big-ticket titles such as League of Legends, Dota 2, and Counter-Strike 2. Meanwhile, titles that debuted in 2025, like VALORANT or Chess, will be back for a second year running.

At the time, some of the biggest absences from the list include titles like Rocket League and StarCraft II. Both video games have been a part of the Esports World Cup since its debut in 2024, and it will be interesting to see whether they return among the 4 titles yet to be announced, or if these will be reserved exclusively for newcomers.

Among the potential new titles to be included in the EWC 2026 is a name like 2XKO, Riot Games' new fighting game. The title is only just launching its esports scene, but may carry enough momentum to make into next year's Esports World Cup yet. For now, though, all we can do is wait as preparations continue for the third iteration of the event to take place in 2026.
