Here’s the complete esports schedule for 2XKO tournaments planned in 2026, including their locations and prize pools.

2XKO is officially launching soon, and Riot Games is ready to bring it to the competitive stage. Let’s take a look at the full 2XKO esports schedule planned for 2026.

Looking back at 2025

During 2XKO’s early access, we had the chance to witness the game’s first tournaments worldwide. Over 1,500 community-run events took place, alongside 22 First Impact-sponsored tournaments, attracting thousands of players from around the globe. Here are some of the biggest 2XKO moments of 2025:

Riot Games has a long history in the competitive scene, particularly with the success of League of Legends and VALORANT. However, with 2XKO, their approach will be slightly different.

Rather than creating new leagues from scratch, Riot will support existing fighting game events. This support will come in the form of funding, promotion on official Riot channels, prize pool boosts, and investment in the long-term growth of the FGC.
