The Free Fire World Series Global Finals 2026 will take place on November 6 in Bangkok, Thailand. It will host a series of four weekends filled with high-level competition between the top 24 teams from around the world, battling for the World Champions title.

In addition to the FFWS Global Finals, Free Fire at the 2026 Esports World Cup will also feature 24 teams. The tournament will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from July 15-18 and will mark Free Fire's third consecutive appearance in the Esports World Cup. Here are the participating teams:
