OBSBOT Named Official Camera and Webcam Partner of Esports World Cup 2026

The Esports Foundation has named OBSBOT the Official Camera and Webcam Partner for the Esports World Cup 2026, bringing the company's AI-powered imaging technology to the event this summer in Paris.

Running July 6 through Aug. 23, EWC 2026 will feature more than 2,000 players and 200 clubs from more than 100 countries competing across 25 tournaments in 24 games. As part of the partnership, more than 500 OBSBOT Tail 2 and Tiny 3 cameras will be deployed across the event's four competition stages and Fan Fest grounds.

The cameras will support a range of production needs, including broadcast coverage, creator productions, player interviews, trainer footage, live-event coverage, behind-the-scenes content, and festival activations. OBSBOT will also host an interactive booth featuring camera challenges and live demonstrations.

The OBSBOT Tail 2 cameras being used at EWC 2026 combine 4K imaging, AI-powered tracking, and NDI/SDI broadcast compatibility. The systems will be used to capture player reactions, creator content, mixed-zone interviews, player-lounge footage, and championship celebrations throughout the event.

Esports is built on stories, says Mohammed Al Nimer, Chief Commercial Officer, Esports Foundation. Fans don't just want to watch the action, they want to experience the emotion, intensity and personality that define every match. From the focus before the game begins to the reactions that follow every pivotal moment, OBSBOT helps us capture those authentic player moments and bring millions of fans closer to the competition through a richer, more immersive viewing experience.

OBSBOT will also support a real-time content-creation program designed to capture event highlights and player features for distribution across EWC and OBSBOT channels. In addition, its cameras will be used for documentary-style coverage from player lounges and mixed-zone interview areas, as well as dedicated content production for esports clubs and creators.

The partnership follows OBSBOT's involvement with EWC 2025, where its technology was used across the Opening Ceremony, the Ronaldo vs. Kak EA SPORTS FC Showmatch, EWC Boxing Night, and other community events.

We are thrilled to return as an EWC partner for a second consecutive year, says Liu Bo, CEO, OBSBOT. Esports has become one of the world's most dynamic stages for live entertainment, where speed, precision, and creativity come together to shape how global audiences experience competition. At OBSBOT, we believe the future of live storytelling will be driven by intelligent imaging technologies that give creators and production teams greater freedom to capture every defining moment. Guided by our mission of achieving Imaging Freedom for All', we are proud to continue supporting EWC with our AI-powered imaging solutions and to help bring the energy of esports to fans around the world.

Founded in Shenzhen, China, OBSBOT develops AI-powered imaging products that are available in more than 150 countries. According to the companies, the two-year partnership is also intended to support EWC's efforts to connect Chinese esports with its global ecosystem.
