Free Fire, Garena's renowned mobile battle royale, is set to make waves at the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2025 in Riyadh with a staggering $1 million prize pool. This event marks another chapter in Free Fire's global esports journey, bolstered by a multi-year partnership with EWC that promises fans another exciting tournament in 2026.

Scheduled from July 16th to 20th, the tournament will see 18 of the world's top Free Fire squads vying for supremacy. The competition kicks off with a group stage, where teams are divided into three groups of six. The top twelve teams will advance to the Point-Rush stage, culminating in a thrilling Grand Final that employs a match point format to determine the ultimate champion. Additionally, a $10,000 MVP bonus awaits the player who delivers the standout performance of the tournament.

Last year's champions, Team Falcons, are set to defend their title after a remarkable performance in 2024. Despite a challenging start in the Point-Rush stage, they clinched victory with two crucial Booyahs in the finals, securing not only the trophy but also a spot at the World Series in Rio.

Qualifiers are in full swing, with the Free Fire World Series (FFWS) Southeast Asia (SEA) concluding on June 14th, sending eight teams to Riyadh. Latin America (LATAM) will qualify two teams by June 1st, Brazil will contribute four by June 22nd, and one team each from Pakistan, the Free Fire Masters (FF MSC), and Bangladesh will also join the fray. As defending champions, Team Falcons automatically secure their place in the competition.
