Gravity Media, the live production, content and media services specialist, is managing host broadcast operations for the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026, supporting ESL FACEIT Group (EFG) to bring the world's largest multi-title esports tournament to global audiences.

Staged over six weeks, EWC 2026 gathers more than 2,000 professional players and 200 clubs from over 100 countries, across 25 tournaments, with a record $75 million prize pool.

Building on its work on previous editions, Gravity Media is once again delivering a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that unites specialist expertise, significant resources and advanced technology from across its global network. The undertaking ranks among the largest esports production operations worldwide, built on a scalable, flexible and future-ready workflow to sustain continuous live output.

Onsite in Paris, the team is providing the complete broadcast infrastructure, including production facilities, technical operations, video, audio, communications and RF systems. The service encompasses nine production lines, more than 60 simultaneous feeds and over 21 RF links, enabling reliable delivery of thousands of hours of live content to international audiences and rights holders.

Technical highlights include 3,500+ video signals; over 150 cameras — spanning ARRI cinematic units, on-body rigs and other specialist systems; four Techno Cranes, three cable camera systems and three drones; 28 EVS XT-VIA servers powering replay; 600+ TB of storage; 2,500 fibre cores; 126 Dante devices supporting a large-scale audio network; and more than 140 Riedel MicroN units integrated across the comms infrastructure.

More than 150 Gravity Media crew members, representing over 35 nationalities, are contributing to the delivery of EWC 2026, illustrating the collaboration and depth of expertise required for a production of this scale and complexity.

The project further showcases Gravity Media’s versatility in both established and emerging markets, adapting workflows and resources to the precise needs of each production.
