Moonton, SNK, and Chess.com Joins Eports Nations Cup As Publishing Partners

The Esports Nations Cup (ENC) has announced that Chess.com, Moonton Games, and SNK have officially joined its inaugural tournament as publishing partners. This addition brings the total number of major publishers collaborating on the event to seven, alongside previously announced partners like EA, Krafton, Tencent, and Ubisoft.

The Esports Nations Cup is a new global competition created by the Esports World Cup Foundation. Its mission is to bring national pride to the world of esports by having top players compete under their country’s flag. The tournament is designed to extend the goals of the Esports World Cup into a recurring national team competition.

As official publishers, these companies will play a crucial role in shaping the tournament’s structure. They will help design the qualification paths and competition formats to ensure integrity and relevance. By bringing their major titles and global player communities, they will help create a unified global structure for the event.

The first Esports Nations Cup is set to debut in Riyadh in November 2026. After its launch, the event is planned to rotate to a different host country every two years, providing a stable structure for national teams and encouraging long term investment in their development.

Esports World Cup Foundation CEO Ralf Reichert stated that partnering closely with publishers ensures the Nations Cup is truly player centric. This collaboration allows players the opportunity to represent their country in the games that define their careers, delivering an experience that feels earned for the players and real for the fans.
