So far, ESL, BLAST, PGL, Skyesports, FISSURE, and StarLadder have already announced their major CS2 tournaments and their respective dates, although some venue and prize money announcements are pending.

CS2 keeps rising in 2026 tournament calendar

What intrigues me the most is not another year stacked with big tournaments. But the fact that the TOs have made their commitment evident so early by announcing their events a year in advance, despite the fact that the 2025 calendar isn’t even underway yet.

This level of proactive commitment goes on to show their confidence in the game’s potential and reinforces the belief that Counter-Strike’s future is as bright as ever.
