The Esports Foundation has revealed the official team rosters and invites for the PUBG portion of the upcoming international event, poised to take place in November in Saudi Arabia. It’s one of the most ambitious esports tournaments in history, and it’s set to identify which country is truly the best when it comes to competitive gaming.
It was confirmed that a whopping 80 rosters representing as many countries submitted their application for the PUBG tournament at the Esports Nations Cup 2026, but only 24 squads will make it to the final at the ENC.

The Esports Nations Cup will follow the Esports World Cup this year, the latter of which was moved to Paris just weeks ago. It has proven to be a shrewd relocation, as the fans are gathering and the ceremonies are shaping up quite nicely.
