FIFAe Finals 2026 has been officially postponed by FIFA and the Saudi Esports Federation. The tournament was originally scheduled to take place in Jeddah from October 16 to 25.

The postponement stems from the ongoing security situation in the Middle East, which created severe logistical challenges and risks for participant safety. Most participating teams had previously refused to travel to Saudi Arabia due to these safety concerns.

New dates for the tournament remain unannounced. Meanwhile, the broader esports calendar continues to face disruptions, as the Esports World Cup relocated to Paris and the Esports Nations Cup moved to November 2027.
