FIFAe Finals 2026, the global esports event that was set to take place in Jeddah, have been postponed. The previously announced schedule of October 16–25, 2026 is no longer current, and no replacement dates have been confirmed in the latest available update.
The tournament had originally been planned for Abadi Al Johar Arena in Jeddah, one of the city's venues equipped to host large-scale competitive events. Public tickets had been listed only for the final days of the original run, October 23–25, with the lowest listed price starting at €9.55. No exact Saudi Riyal equivalent was provided for ticket pricing.
For now, key details tied to the event remain unsettled. Arrangements covering ticket validity, refunds, and any rescheduling will depend on the revised announcement once it is issued. Until then, fans who had planned to attend are advised to hold their tickets and wait for official confirmation of the new dates.
Why it matters
Saudi Arabia has steadily grown as a hub for international esports and gaming events, drawing fans from across the Kingdom and the wider Gulf. Jeddah hosting a global FIFAe final would have added to that momentum, so the postponement is notable for the community following competitive gaming in the region.
At this stage, no new timeline has been shared. Saudi Living will provide an update when revised dates, venue confirmation, and ticketing arrangements are officially announced.
