How to watch the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026

Owen Harsono Published 05/07/2026

The Esports World Cup 2026 is an event you don’t want to miss. The best players in various esports titles will all gather in Paris, France, to compete for millions of dollars and a shiny new trophy. If you don’t want to miss out on the action, here’s how you can watch EWC 2026 live.

How to watch the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026 live?

All matches in the Esports World Cup will be live streamed from the venue, meaning you can catch all the action live as the matches are playing out. There are several ways to tune into the stream, which we’ll go over below.

Twitch

The most common way of watching Esports World Cup games is by using Twitch, which is the most popular live streaming platform for gaming and esports. Twitch has a website and a mobile app, giving you a lot of flexibility.

However, the Esports World Cup will have different Twitch channels based on the esports title, so there isn’t one single “official EWC channel” that you can bookmark and always come back to.

To find the stream you’re after, you’ll need to head to the game’s category page on Twitch and look for the EWC broadcast there. Don’t worry – if the match is live, you’ll have an easy time spotting it out.

That’s why we highly recommend keeping track of the Esports World Cup 2026 schedule, so you know when your title of choice is playing.

YouTube

The Esports World Cup live streams are also available on popular streaming platform YouTube, and it’s much easier to navigate.

All EWC 2026 matches will be streamed live on the official Esports World Cup YouTube channel, which has over 1.4 million subscribers. However, there will likely be multiple streams going on at the same time, since multiple tournaments will occur simultaneously.

So all you need to do is select the correct one – don’t worry, as the streams will be labeled properly.

All of the match VODs will also be saved on the Esports World Cup channel, so you can revisit the broadcast whenever you want.

Live Esports Betting Sites

If you’re keen on betting on live Esports World Cup games, you can also watch the action on esports bookmakers.

The best esports betting sites will often have a live stream attached to the market, meaning you can simultaneously watch the live stream while looking at the live betting options.

Some sites will also provide you with useful statistics like head-to-head records, win rates, objectives, and much more, allowing you to make informed decisions in your picks.
