ESL has confirmed the complete team list for ESL Pro League Season 24. Sixteen teams will compete in Katowice: twelve received direct invitations through the Valve Regional Standings, while four qualified through the ESL Challenger League Season 51 regional finals.

The tournament will run from October 3 to 11, 2026. Every stage will be played on LAN, with the playoffs taking place at the legendary Spodek Arena from October 9 to 11.

ESL Pro League Season 24 Team List

The following twelve teams received direct invitations based on the Global Valve Regional Standings published on August 3:

Team Spirit;
Falcons;
MOUZ;
9z Globant;
Team Vitality;
Natus Vincere;
Legacy;
FURIA;
BetBoom Team;
Aurora Gaming;
G2 Esports;
PARIVISION.

All twelve teams accepted their invitations, meaning ESL did not need to call up any replacements.

ESL Pro League Season 24 Format

All sixteen teams will begin the tournament in a single Swiss stage. Every group-stage match will be played as a best-of-three series, reducing the influence of single-map variance.

The eight best teams will advance to a single-elimination playoff bracket:

Group stage - Swiss system, Bo3;
Playoffs - Single Elimination, Bo3;
Third-place match - Bo3;
Grand final - Bo5.

Unlike the group stage, one playoff defeat will immediately eliminate a team from the tournament.

ESL Pro League Season 24 Prize Pool

ESL Pro League Season 24 will distribute $1 million in total winnings. Of this amount, $300,000 will be awarded as player prize money, while another $700,000 will be distributed through club rewards.

The champions will receive $125,000 in prize money and a $170,000 club reward. Victory will also count toward the ESL Grand Slam race.
