Honor of Kings Releases Second-Half 2026 Esports Roadmap

Honor of Kings has released its competitive roadmap for the second half of 2026, naming international tournaments, regional leagues, a women’s circuit and campus competitions. The season will conclude at the Honor of Kings International Championship (KIC2026) in December. The schedule follows Kuaishou Gaming’s win at the Honor of Kings World Cup during the Esports World Cup 2026.

Three major international appearances are on the calendar. Honor of Kings is listed as an official medal event at the Asian Games in Nagoya on September 27–28. The Esports Nations Cup will run in Riyadh from November 24–29 with 24 national teams. KIC2026 will take place in December and will feature 16 of the world’s top teams.

Regional league play moves into its Fall season. Competitions named by organizers include Indonesia Kings Laga, Malaysia Honor of Kings League, Philippine Kings League, Honor of Kings Brazil Championship and Honor of Kings Major League, which will continue their campaigns within their territories.

The Honor of Kings Women’s Series 4 is scheduled for September and October, with more than 36 teams expected and an offline final planned. The Women’s World Championship is set for December and will run alongside KIC2026.

Grassroots and campus events are included in the roadmap. The HOK Campus Series will run from August to October across Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia, with organizers expecting more than 30,000 participants. The HOK Campus Series Future will operate from July to November across more than 16 secondary schools in Indonesia, with over 2,400 students expected to take part.

At the Esports World Cup 2026, Kuaishou Gaming defeated AG.AL 4–3 to win the Honor of Kings World Cup and claim the largest share of a $3 million prize pool. KSG player JuHao was named Finals MVP. Geekay Esports finished third after a 3–0 win over ROC Esports. The event was the first time teams from Honor of Kings and Arena of Valor competed on the same international stage at the Esports World Cup.

Organizers have scheduled international tournaments, regional leagues, a women’s circuit and school competitions through the remainder of 2026.
