PARIS/RIYADH: The Esports Foundation, the organization behind the Esports World Cup and Esports Nations Cup, has opened applications for its 2026 Creator Program — the largest co-streaming initiative in esports and a deepening of the body’s growth strategy. Co-streaming has been central to how the EWC reaches fans across the world. In 2025, 3,500 co-streamers were one of the key growth pillars for EWC viewership, bringing the tournament’s biggest moments into communities across every region, platform, and language.
