Preview of the Final Championship Weekend of EWC 2026

CrossFire EWC

This year’s CrossFire finals will have huge Club Championship ramifications.

Team Falcons currently lead the club standings, but AG AL are just 300 points behind them at the time of writing.

AG AL are also the defending CrossFire EWC champions and were favoured to defend their title.

However, they have already been eliminated following a 2-1 defeat by BaiSha Gaming and had to settle for fifth.

Now, BaiSha will take on Team Liquid in the Grand Finals on Saturday, 22 August at 4 pm CEST.

CS2 EWC 2026

The CS2 final will close out EWC as the final tournament of this year’s event.

And all eyes will be on Team Spirit and Danil ‘donk’ Kryshkovets following some high-profile eliminations.

donk helped Team Spirit pick apart Team Vitality in front of Paris’ many Vitality fans.

Meanwhile, on the same side of a very stacked bracket, Legacy upset and eliminated IEM Cologne 2026 Major winners, Team Falcons.

Spirit and Legacy will now face in an explosive semifinal while FURIA face FUT Esports on the other side of the bracket.

Polymarket users have Team Spirit as the tournament favourites at 47%.

The CS2 EWC grand final will then take place on Sunday, August 23 at 1:30 PM CEST.

Fortnite Reload Elite Series Championship

Fortnite’s inaugural Reload Elite Series Championship will conclude this weekend with a brand-new format that makes the game even faster and more frantic.

A total of 40 duos have battled it out but only 20 remain ahead of the grand final, with Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf, the first-ever Fortnite World Cup champion, narrowly missing out.

However, both Team Falcon’s Peter ‘Peterbot’ Kata and Miguel ‘Pollo’ Moreno and AG AL’s European duo of Nikolaj ‘Sky’ Helleskov and Adrian ‘Scroll’ Richelieu both remain in what could decide the $7m winner of the Club Championship.

The Fortnite EWC grand final will take place on Saturday, 22 August at 12:00 pm CEST.

Trackmania EWC

This weekend will see the playoffs of Trackmania and crown the racing game’s first-ever EWC champion.

Team Falcons will be betting on this title to secure a third consecutive Club Championship as they are represented by the Trackmania GOAT, Carl-Antoni ‘Carl Jr.’ Cloutier.

The Canadian is a seven-time World Champion and back-to-back Player of the Year; no doubt he’s the heavy favourite here.

However, AG AL are also well represented with French pair Alexandre ‘Binkss’ Touche and Gwendal ‘Gwen’ Duparc both making the Playoffs too.

Trackmania is a game of pure skill with identical tracks and cars as four drivers race at a time until someone hits the 140-point limit.

The grand finals will take place on Saturday, August 22 at 8:00 PM CEST.
