The prize pool for The International 2026 has surpassed $3 million after just three days of the tournament. This year’s championship has already outpaced the prize pools of The International 2024 and 2025, with the potential to exceed the 2023 figure if it reaches $3.38 million.

The event is taking place in China from August 13 to 23. The initial prize pool was $1.6 million, but it grows through sales of team support bundles and studio coverage participants. The pool will continue to increase until the end of the championship.
