Esports Nations Cup (ENC) ticket sales go live with VIP passes

Wasif Ahmed Published 17/06/2026

The Esports Foundation has officially launched ticket sales for the inaugural Esports Nations Cup (ENC). On the official site, the EF has revealed a tiered pricing model, pass structures, and the ticket availability for the tournament.

The tournament will be taking place in November, which will see a departure from the previous club-based structure to a country vs country format, like the Olympics. The announcement of ENC ticket sales comes amid EWC’s unexpected move from Saudi Arabia to France due to ongoing tensions.

However, a similar decree hasn’t been issued for ENC, which is so far confirmed to be held at its original venue of Boulevard City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The recently announced ticketing framework for the event is designed to cater to both single-game general admission attendees and VIP spectators seeking access to multiple title stages over the month-long competition.

General admission day passes will be the baseline entry point for fans looking to catch specific game brackets, with single-day passes having the possibility of being priced at around 15 dollars or 55 SAR.

To accommodate spectators who plan to attend the tournament across its multi-week schedule, organizers have also introduced weekend passes and specialized “Title Bundles.” These bundles group together all competitive stages for individual games like Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, or Dota 2 at discounted rates.

For big ballers, the Esports Foundation is offering the Premium VIP Daily and All-Event VIP Gold passes, which offer dedicated seating, backstage lounge access, priority entry lanes, and exclusive event merchandise.

Availability is currently structured through a rolling phased release directly on the official portal. The initial primary ticketing wave is reserved exclusively for fans who pre-registered during the tournament’s summer announcement window, granting them early access to high-demand grand finals seating.

Remaining standard inventory will open up globally to the general public immediately following the conclusion of the upcoming regional qualifier stages, which determine the final national team representatives.

Organizers have explicitly warned international travelers that physical, on-site box office sales will be highly limited and subject to capacity limits. Beyond standard seat access, all tier options grant ticket holders full entry into the surrounding Esports Nations Cup Festival Zone, an interactive park featuring community activations, retro arcade galleries, and official national team fan zones.
