Esports World Cup: All Gamers beat Team Falcons to win

China's All Gamers beat Saudi Arabia's Team Falcons on Sunday to win the Esports World Cup in Paris.

The defeated Team Falcons were described as two-time champions. This year's tournament awarded more than $70 million across its prize pools and brought together more than 2,000 professional players competing across 24 video games.

The 2026 edition was the first Esports World Cup held outside Saudi Arabia since the event was founded there in 2024. Organisers announced in May that the tournament would move to France because of the ongoing Middle East war.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was expected to attend the closing ceremony with French President Emmanuel Macron. Next year's edition is planned to return to Riyadh.

Uncertainty notes

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was expected to attend the closing ceremony, but the supplied information did not confirm that he attended.
