The Esports World Cup 2025 is poised to redefine mobile gaming competitions. Following confirmed appearances from PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Riyadh's summer spectacular gains even more prestige with Honor of Kings' high-profile participation.

Through a groundbreaking three-year EWC collaboration, the Honor of Kings World Cup returns boasting a $3 million prize pool and an enhanced competitive structure. From July 15th to 26th, eighteen international teams - including regional champions from the King Pro League and Asian Champions League - will battle for glory.

Sixteen teams begin in the Group Stage, divided into four double-elimination sections. Only group winners secure direct Playoff berths, while runners-up compete in a Last Chance bracket for the remaining two positions.

Early matches feature best-of-three and best-of-five series, culminating in August 16th's grand finals where KPL and ACL titans clash in a best-of-seven showdown. The event also includes a separate third-place decider.
