Esports World Cup: Level Up Documentary Season Two Confirmed
The Esports World Cup is set to return for its third iteration on July 6, 2026, with a substantial $75 million combined prize pool. To accompany the event, the second season of the documentary series ‘Esports World Cup: Level Up’ has been confirmed, continuing to showcase the stories behind competitive gaming’s biggest stage.
The five-episode docuseries will premiere on Prime Video on June 26, 2026, offering an inside look at last year’s inaugural $70 million event. Directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker R.J. Cutler—known for his acclaimed work on “Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry”—the series combines behind-the-scenes footage with compelling player narratives.
While the event itself is headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the documentary expands its geographic scope by traveling to the United Kingdom, United States, and Indonesia to feature prominent players in their home environments. Notable participants include Fnatic’s Jake ‘Boaster’ Howlett, highlighting the international nature of professional esports competition.
The documentary series reinforces Saudi Arabia’s growing investment in esports infrastructure and content creation, as the kingdom continues to establish itself as a major hub for competitive gaming. With significant prize pools and high-profile production values, the Esports World Cup positions itself as one of the gaming industry’s premier events, drawing attention from both dedicated esports fans and mainstream audiences through quality documentary storytelling.
