The Asian Champions League will serve as the Asian qualifier for the Esports World Cup 2025.

“We’re excited to partner with Redd+E.

Together, we’re redefining competitive entertainment across Asia’s esports landscape,” said ACL CEO Jonny Wang.

The EWC itself will be hosted from 7 July to 24 August in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Chess has also been included in the EWC 2025 as its first non-esport title.
