ESL hasn’t confirmed the host cities yet, but the organizer hinted that more Tier-One events could still be added later. That leaves the door open for surprises, including the possibility of a Major.

ESL is the first organizer to publish its 2028 plans, aligning with Valve’s updated Tournament Operation Requirements, which require events after December 2026 to be announced at least 22 months in advance.
