Esports World Cup 2026 Week 3: The Most-Viewed Esports World Cup Title Begins
The Esports World Cup 2026 enters its third week with the FC Pro World Championship, which has emerged as the most-viewed esports title at the tournament. Scheduled for July 22-26, the championship features a prize pool of $1,045,000, with first place earning $250,000.
The tournament brings together elite EA Sports FC 26 players from around the globe. Notable competitors include Danish prodigy Anders ‘Vejrgang’ Vejrgang, representing Team Falcons; Matías ‘Bonanno’ Bonanno; and defending champion Manuel ‘ManuBachoore’ Bachoore. Team Falcons has made EA FC a major priority, with owner and CEO Mossaad ‘Msdossary’ Al-Dossary—himself an accomplished esports player—overseeing the organization’s participation in the event.
The inclusion of FC Pro as the most-viewed competition at the Esports World Cup highlights the sustained popularity of football simulation gaming in competitive esports, despite expectations that other titles might dominate viewership.
