The FIFAe Finals 2026, a global esports showcase that was set to bring national teams to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from 16 to 25 October 2026, have been postponed. Organizers cited regional developments and logistical considerations behind the decision.
The tournament was scheduled to take place at Abadi Al Johar Arena in Jeddah and featured three world-title competitions: Rocket League, eFootball console, and eFootball mobile. The announced field included 16 teams in Rocket League and 12 teams in each of the two eFootball competitions.
Before the postponement, public tickets had been listed through Webook, with prices starting from the equivalent of around SAR 40, varying by category. Public access had been announced for the eFootball finals on 23 October and for the Rocket League knockout matches on 24–25 October.
As of the latest available information, no replacement dates, revised venue, final ticket prices, or new booking procedures had been announced. Details on refunds or ticket transfers were also pending.
Why it matters
The event would have placed Jeddah on the international esports map, drawing fans and national squads from around the world. For residents and visitors who had planned to attend, the main questions now concern rescheduled dates and how existing bookings will be handled.
Fans are advised to monitor official FIFAe channels, the Saudi Esports Federation, and Webook for confirmed new dates, as well as any announcements on ticket refunds or transfers.
