ESL One Heads to Munich for April 2027 Dota 2 Tournament

ESL FACEIT Group (EFG) has announced that ESL One, its Dota 2 tournament series, is coming to Munich, Germany, from April 4-11, 2027. ESL One Munich 2027 will bring together 16 teams competing for $1 million in total winnings, which EFG says is the largest prize pool of the ESL Pro Tour season.

The main event runs live April 9-11 at BMW Park in Munich, which has interactive LED flooring. EFG describes the tournament as the premier midseason invitational and a key qualifier on the road to the Esports World Cup.

ESL One will be broadcast in more than 15 languages across more than 60 channels globally, according to EFG.

ESL One has a long history of bringing the world's best Dota 2 teams and fans together, and we're excited to add Munich to that legacy, says Tobias Fjellander, Senior Product Manager, Dota 2, ESL FACEIT Group. BMW Park gives us the opportunity to explore new ways of bringing Dota 2 to life through our event production, while continuing to deliver the level of competition and live experience that fans expect from ESL One. Following a fantastic ESL One Birmingham earlier this year, we're looking forward to building on that momentum and welcome the community to Munich in 2027.

In April 2027, Munich will become the beating heart of the global Dota 2 community. We're thrilled to welcome ESL One and the world's top teams to Bavaria! Esports is so much more than gaming. It's about teamwork, strategy, split-second decisions and the passion to push your limits. It brings people together across borders, languages and cultures - united by the thrill of competition and the love of the game. As Germany's leading games hub, Bavaria is proud to be part of this incredible community. We're investing in the future of gaming, supporting esports clubs and major events, and creating a place where talent, technology and passion come together. Game on, Munich - let's make it legendary! says Dr. Fabian Mehring, Bavarian State Minister for Digital Affairs.

I am thrilled that ESL One Dota 2 is coming to Munich next year. This is esports at its best: world-class players competing live in front of an audience at the BMW Park. Munich brings together everything a premier gaming event needs: a thriving tech hub home to leading global corporations, and a sports venue with a rich and storied history. It is the ideal place for esports to bridge both worlds. We look forward to writing a new chapter in our modern sporting city and to welcoming passionate esports fans - cheering on their favorite teams live at the BMW Park or watching the action via livestream, says Dr. Christian Scharpf, Head of the Department of Labor and Economic Development, City of Munich.
