Our flagship event returns to Birmingham and its incredible crowd in 2026. 16 of the world's best teams will battle their way to the City of a Thousand Trades, where they will compete for the title of ESL One Champions.
With a new format, more teams, the best crowd in esports, and all of DreamHack Birmingham to explore with any ESL One ticket, we've never been so back.
ESL One Ticket buyers for 2026 are privileged to have the best gaming festival in the world as their event expo, with access included totally free when you purchase an ESL One Birmingham ticket.
Where brands, exhibitors, and partners show off the latest gear, wildest ideas, and the next big thing in gaming culture.
Cosplay is for everyone at DreamHack. Suit up if you want, cheer from the crowd if you don’t, and dive into workshops that spark your creativity.
Leave your setup at home, we’ve got you covered! The Freeplay area is packed with PCs ready for you to get your 5 stack together and play some Dotes.
