The National Team Partner for Great Britain acknowledges The Esports Foundation’s decision to postpone the Esports Nations Cup in Riyadh from November 2026 to November 2027.

We want to make it clear that the safety and welfare of the players, coaches and staff is our top priority. 

As to how this may affect team selections or anything else from a Great Britain perspective, given this is a developing situation, we will await further developments and will be sure to bring you any updates as soon as we have them. 

What we can confirm is that Great Britain recently qualified to compete in 11 titles following the recent qualification stage of the Esports Nations Cup.

We would like to thank the players, coaches, staff, partners and wider esports community for their support and understanding, and look forward to representing Great Britain in 2027.
