What’s Missing From the Lineup?

One notable absence is Rennsport, the sim racing title that previously hosted its R1 LAN events at the Esports World Cup. For the past two years, Team Redline dominated the Rennsport competition, but its omission from the 2026 roster raises questions about whether racing esports will feature at all next year.


UPDATE May 25, 2026: The Esports World Cup 2026 is relocating to Paris, France, after originally being scheduled for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Organizers pointed to the ongoing regional conflicts in the Middle East, particularly the Iran-US war, as a major reason for the change.
