The FIFAe Finals 2026, which were scheduled to take place in Jeddah from 16 to 25 October 2026, have been postponed. The decision was announced jointly by football's world governing body and the Saudi Esports Federation following a review of regional developments and their impact on the event's logistical arrangements.
No replacement date has been set, and no alternative venue has been confirmed. It also remains unclear whether the tournament will ultimately be held in Jeddah or elsewhere in Saudi Arabia once a new schedule is determined.
Why it matters
The FIFAe Finals bring together top competitive gaming talent from around the world and had positioned Jeddah as a host city on the global esports calendar. The event was expected to draw international players and fans to the Kingdom, supporting the growing esports and gaming sector in Saudi Arabia.
For residents and fans who had been following the tournament, organizers have not yet released any information on tickets, entry arrangements, or a revised timeline. Saudi Living will share further details once an updated date and venue are officially confirmed.
