AG.AL Crowned Esports World Cup 2026 Club Champion

AG.AL was crowned Esports World Cup 2026 Club Champion in Paris after seven weeks of competition, with more than 2,000 players from 200 clubs across 100 countries contending in 25 tournaments across 24 games for a record $75 million prize pool. The club finished on 5,300 points to claim the title, narrowly edging Team Falcons at 4,600, with Team Vitality, Natus Vincere and Team Liquid following in the top five. The championship was decided on the final weekend when Gwen Duparc won the inaugural Trackmania tournament, allowing AG.AL to seal the club championship after Falcons’ Carl Jr. exited in the quarterfinals. AG.AL’s campaign was built across multiple games, including a Tekken 8 title and runner-up finishes in Chess, Free Fire and the Honor of Kings World Cup, plus a third place in Teamfight Tactics, with a $130,000 prize for the Trackmania win. The event underscored Saudi-backed esports expansion and a fast-growing global audience, with reports noting 850 million viewers and 440 million hours watched, alongside record-ticket sales and widespread broadcasting reach.
