ESL announces 2026 Counter-Strike dates
Esports event organiser ESL has given us a look at what we can expect to see in the 2026 season for Counter-Strike. While we’re still more than a year away from 2026, it seems like ESL is getting a jump on things, with six dates revealed.
As per eSports Insider, the six dates are as follows:
- ESL Event: January 27th – February 8th, 2026
- ESL Event: February 23rd – March 15th, 2026
- ESL Event: April 12th – 19th, 2026
- ESL Event: May 10th – 17th, 2026
- ESL Event: September 21st – October 11th, 2026
- ESL Event: November 1st – 8th, 2026
We don’t have proper titles or locations for these events yet, but we can expect ESL to once more go globe trotting with its Counter-Strike tournaments. We’re also likely to expect plenty more events taking place in 2026 without the ESL label, but these are likely to be announced closer to the time.
