Streamer and representative of Team Falcons, K22N8, reported that the Esports World Cup 2026 has been moved from Saudi Arabia to France. So far, these are only rumors, but they likely aren’t baseless. Due to the ongoing war in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia has become a dangerous location for hosting an international tournament.

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.
