ESL FACEIT Group has unveiled the first details of its 2026 competitive calendar, which will feature six LAN events spread across the year from January to November.

In total, this marks one less tournament compared to 2025. However, fans will quickly notice a significant gap in the schedule between May and September, sparking speculation that the yet-to-be-announced 2026 IEM Cologne—usually held in late July or early August—could potentially serve as a Major.

The 2026 Summer Major is currently slated for June 8-21, as reported by HLTV last year. However, these dates are still tentative, as the expansion of Majors to 32 teams may lead to adjustments.

ESL Event #1: January 27 - February 8 ESL Event #2: February 23 - March 15 ESL Event #3: April 12 - 19 ESL Event #4: May 10 - 17 ESL Event #5: September 21 - October 11 ESL Event #6: November 1 - 8
