EA SPORTS FC Confirmed for ENC 2026 in Riyadh
The Esports Foundation has officially confirmed EA SPORTS FC as one of 16 game titles in the inaugural Esports Nations Cup 2026 (ENC), set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from November 2–29, 2026. EA SPORTS FC is among 16 confirmed titles at ENC 2026, alongside games including League of Legends, Rocket League, Counter-Strike 2, and VALORANT.
The event is built on a $45 million funding commitment, including a $20 million prize pool paid directly to players and coaches. With qualifiers expected across 100 nations and territories throughout 2026, the ENC represents the largest nation-based FC competitive opportunity to date.
First place earns $50,000 per player; second place $30,000 per player; third place $15,000 per player — with equal pay for players and coaches at each finishing position. National team selection for the EA SPORTS FC competition at ENC will be determined through dedicated qualifiers organized by EA or via direct invitations, separate from the ENC's own National Team Partner framework.
For competitive FC players and Pro Clubs aspirants, this opens a new international pathway: representing your country on the world stage in Riyadh this November. 🔗 Full announcement: esportsnationscup.com 📅 ENC 2026: November 2–29, 2026 | Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
