After the success of the Esports World Cup this year, the Esports Nations Cup (ENC) is set to take center stage in Riyadh in November 2026.

Popular game publishers like Electronic Arts, Tencent, Krafton, and Ubisoft will be involved, bringing well-known titles such as EA Sports FC, Apex Legends, PUBG, and Rainbow Six into the spotlight. This new competition will feature teams from nearly 100 countries, competing in more than 15 games.
Here’s what you can expect from the Esports Nations Cup in Riyadh:
- Countries from around the world to compete for the prize
- Team and solo formats will offer a variety of gameplay styles, with regional and global qualifiers
- The prize pool is expected to be huge
In addition to ENC, the city has more entertainment lined up. And you don’t have to wait another year! Riyadh Comedy Festival, featuring big-name comedians, will take place at the end of September 2025.
