Winners
Format
The event had three stages. All stages used the same points system: placement points (1st 10, 2nd 6, 3rd 5, 4th 4, 5th 3, 6th 2, 7th and 8th 1) plus 1 point per elimination.
- Group Stage (6 to 9 August): 32 teams in two groups of 16, 12 matches per group over two days. In each group, places 1 to 5 went straight to the Grand Finals, places 6 to 13 went to the Survival Stage and places 14 to 16 were eliminated.
- Survival Stage (11 to 12 August): 16 teams, 12 matches. The top 6 joined the Grand Finals.
- Grand Finals (14 to 16 August): 16 teams, 18 matches, points reset to zero. The Smash Rule applied on the final day: the target was the leader’s points after day 2 plus 10 (122 points). A team at or above the target had to win a later match (a WWCD) to take the title; if no team did so by match 18, the team with the most points became champion.

Storylines
Suspected food poisoning stops Grand Finals Day 1
On 14 August several players fell ill with vomiting and nausea during the first Grand Finals day. Tianba’s MiLu was taken to hospital for checks and S2G’s Lost was sick during a match; GodLike captain Manya and IDA Esports’ Emre7 were also reported unwell. Only four of the six scheduled matches were played. PUBG Mobile Esports said members of multiple teams had reported feeling unwell and that it was working with the Esports World Cup to find the source. Matches 5 and 6 moved to 15 August, which ran eight matches, so all 18 matches were completed and the final stayed on 16 August. No official cause has been announced.
S2G win on points
S2G Esports started the final day fourth with 103 points. No team won a match after reaching the 122-point target, so after 18 matches the title went to the team with the most points: S2G, 154 to 149 over Nongshim RedForce. It was S2G’s first global title since PMGC 2022.
Both previous champions out early
Defending champions Yangon Galacticos (2025) and 2024 champions Alpha7 Esports both went out in the Survival Stage, finishing 14th and 9th there.
Tianba: from the Survival Stage to fifth
Tianba finished 11th in Group B, topped the Survival Stage with 109 points, won two matches on the final day including the last match of the event, finished fifth and produced the Finals MVP.
Moved from Riyadh to Paris
The Esports World Cup 2026 was first planned for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and was moved to Paris in May 2026.
