Esports Manager 2026

Esports Manager 2026 is a strategy simulation in which you run a competitive esports organization. Start from scratch or take over an existing team, then manage players, tournaments and business operations. There is no scripted campaign or forced ending: your career continues as long as your manager stays active.

Manage your roster

Recruit players and buy, sell or loan them through a market shaped by negotiations, contracts and timing. Build weekly training plans for skill development and well-being, and use team-building and psychology sessions to support morale and motivation. You can get to know players, respond to their needs and guide them through challenges on and off the stage using the Talk module to communicate with players and staff.

Run the organization

Take responsibility for financial, psychological, legal and organizational matters. Recruit and manage backroom staff, including analysts, coaches, junior managers and media specialists. Expand the business, sign sponsorship deals, raise its visibility and grow its influence in the esports scene.

Compete in tournaments

Enter a full calendar of events, from smaller competitions to major championships, and aim for the Grand Slam. You can manage matches through the Simulation module, controlling tactics and reacting to dynamic in-game events in real time.

Teams and players

Choose from authentic organizations and manage rosters containing real professional players. Build a lineup to suit your goals and lead the team toward the top.
