Format & club race for the title
The Esports World Cup is a competition taking place over nearly two months in Saudi Arabia (from July 8 to August 24), where players and organizations from around the world compete across nearly 25 different games. In addition to the prize pools for each tournament, partner clubs also face off against each other to determine a Club Champion.
The Esports World Cup club ranking is based on a cumulative points system. The goal is to reward the most consistently successful club across all titles. The club at the top of the standings at the end is crowned the best esports organization of the tournament, succeeding Team Falcons, the 2024 champions.
To join the Club Championship, a club must finish top 8 in at least two tournaments. To win it, the club must also secure first place in at least one. Otherwise, the title goes to the top-scoring eligible club. With $27,000,000 up for grabs for the 24 most successful clubs, all will have their eye on the grand prize of $7,000,000.
