Jeddah to host FIFAe Finals 2026 in October
Jeddah will host the FIFAe Finals 2026 from October 16 to 25, with three football esports world titles to be decided at the Abadi Al Johar Arena.
The event will feature competitions in eFootball on console and mobile alongside Rocket League, with national teams qualifying through FIFAe’s international competition structure.
Twelve nations will compete in each of the two eFootball tournaments, while 16 will contest the Rocket League competition.
The eFootball tournaments will be held from October 16 to 18, followed by the opening stages of the Rocket League competition on October 20 and 21.
FIFA will then stage a new Champions Weekend from October 23 to 25, bringing the closing stages of the three tournaments together before the respective world champions are crowned.
More than 120 nations entered the qualification process for the 2026 season, with five FIFAe Continental Championships staged in Malaysia, Brazil, Morocco, Mexico and Portugal as part of the road to Jeddah.
The Jeddah event follows the 2025 FIFAe Finals in Riyadh and continues Saudi Arabia’s involvement in hosting FIFA’s competitive gaming events.
The FIFAe Finals form part of a wider period of growth for Saudi Arabia’s gaming and esports sector, with the Kingdom hosting a growing number of major international competitions.
