2026 FIFAe Continental Champs for Concacaf region kicks off today

The inaugural eConcacaf competition will take place in Mexico City from today until Sunday.

The three-day competition will take place today until Sunday marking the first centralised, in-person eConcacaf event. The tournament will bring together the region’s top national teams across three titles: Rocket League, eFootball Mobile, and eFootball Console. Six nations will compete in each title for regional honours and qualification for the FIFAe Finals.

COMPETITION FORMAT

The competition will begin with a group stage comprised of a single group featuring all participating nations, during which they will face each opponent once. Following the group stage, the top four nations will advance to the knockout stage.

The Knockout Stage will be played in a double-elimination format, giving each nation two opportunities before being eliminated from the competition.

QUALIFIED TEAMS

The participating national teams qualified through the FIFAe Nations League 2026, which featured three qualifying weeks for each of the three titles: Rocket League, eFootball Mobile, and eFootball Console.

Throughout the three qualifying weeks, teams competed within their respective regions and earned Consistency Points (CP) based on their performance in the group and knockout stages. Following the third and final qualifying week, the top-performing teams secured direct qualification to the FIFAe Continental Championships, while the remaining places were awarded based on the Consistency Points accumulated across all three weeks.
