Streamer and representative of Team Falcons, K22N8, reported that the Esports World Cup 2026 has been moved from Saudi Arabia to France.

This was also previously discussed on the HLTV Confirmed podcast, but there has still been no official announcement, so nothing can be stated with certainty yet.
