The Global Esports Federation confirms that the Los Angeles 2026 Global Esports Games (GEGLA26) will move from December 2026 to Spring 2027.
Following a comprehensive review of preparations, GEF has determined that additional time is required to deliver the Games to our athletes and community. Visa appointment and processing delays affecting several delegations have also presented challenges to participation.
We recognize the significant preparation and commitment already made by athletes, Member Federations, partners, and supporters. Our priority is to provide a clear path forward for qualified athletes and delegations. Updates on competition schedules and participation requirements will be shared directly with Member Federations as arrangements are confirmed.
Los Angeles is the destination for the Games. We are committed to bringing our global community together for a celebration of national pride, competitive excellence, and human connection.
Thank you to our athletes, Member Federations, host communities, and partners as we continue our journey to Los Angeles.
