SEA Esports Nations Cup 2026 starts a new era
Southeast Asia Esports Federation created SEA Esports Nations Cup 2026 as the first national team esports event in Southeast Asia. In addition, esports groups from many SEA countries continue to support the tournament.
Moreover, SNC 2026 is more than a normal event. It gives SEA countries a chance to work together and grow the regional esports scene. As a result, many fans expect the tournament to improve esports standards across the region.
Vietnam will host the first season of the event. Furthermore, organizers added the tournament to Vietnam GameVerse 2026. Meanwhile, Vietnam Recreational and Electronic Sports Association and local partners will run the competition.
PUBG Mobile becomes the biggest highlight
Among all featured games, PUBG Mobile will lead the opening day of SNC 2026. In addition, the game has the most participating countries.
The 10 countries include:
- Vietnam
- Indonesia
- Malaysia
- Philippines
- Singapore
- Cambodia
- Myanmar

Because the battle royale genre remains popular, PUBG Mobile continues to dominate the SEA esports scene. Therefore, regional esports groups selected the game as the opening title.
The tournament will also use a new format. Instead of four-player squads, each country will send only two players. As a result, every match could become more intense. Furthermore, players will compete in both Solo and Team matches using version 4.3.
