Along with the inclusion of Trackmania in the list of Esports World Cup disciplines, the Foundation concluded a multi-year agreement with the Ubisoft Nadeo studio. 32 players will participate in the tournament, who will draw a prize fund of $500,000.
Qualification for the main stage will take place directly in the game through an open in-game system. The organizers promise to reveal additional details about the selection on January 26, together with the release of the Trackmania update.
Trackmania will be the only racing game at EWC 2026. For the first time since 2024, the tournament program will not include the sim racing discipline RENNSPORT.
“Trackmania has always been one of the most honest games in gaming: one car, one track, no RNG – everything is decided by accuracy, memory and endurance. Together with Ubisoft Nadeo, we will unite players – from amateurs to professionals – in the world finals and make the drama of splits and ghost replays palpable for everyone. This is Trackmania’s step to the top of eSports.”
With Trackmania in mind, Esports World Cup 2026 will include 24 disciplines of different genres, from shooters and MOBAs to fighting games and motorsports.
