ADVERTISEMENT Esports Nations Cup 2026 Names National Team Partners Across 100+ Countries Posted on: March 26, 2026 • 2 minute read ADVERTISEMENT The Esports Foundation (EF) has awarded National Team Partner status to organizations and individuals across more than 100 countries and territories for the Esports Nations Cup 2026 (ENC), a nation-based esports competition set to debut in Riyadh from November 2–29, 2026. The EF received more than 630 applications from 150 countries and territories. Partners include the Korea Esports Association, the Saudi Esports Federation, club-led coalitions in Brazil and the USA, and hybrid public-private alliances in Germany, Canada, and the UAE. Countries and territories without a partner will be supported through regional structures provided by the EF. The full list of partners is available on the ENC website. National Team Partners will lead team formation, mobilize local communities, and establish structures for national participation. The ENC is designed to complement existing club-based competition frameworks. “The Esports Nations Cup introduces something esports has never had before: a global system for national teams at an unprecedented scale,” says Ralf Reichert, CEO of the Esports Foundation . “The response we received from across the world shows that communities are ready for this next step. Together with our partners, we are building the structures that will allow players to represent their nations and compete on the biggest stage in esports. With more than 100 nations now part of the system, the Esports Nations Cup moves from concept to reality — establishing national esports as a lasting part of the global competitive landscape.” The ENC will launch in Riyadh in November 2026 before moving to a rotating city model. It is planned as a biennial event, complementing the annual club-based Esports World Cup.
