Gravity Media to operate host broadcast for Esports World Cup 2026

Gravity Media has been confirmed as the host broadcast operations provider for the Esports World Cup 2026, organised by the Esports Foundation. The company is on site in Paris and will manage camera capture, graphics, audio, communications and the preparation of final broadcast feeds. Gravity Media is working alongside ESL FACEIT Group, the event’s official operations partner under a multi-year agreement.

On site in Paris, Gravity Media is responsible for the physical production environment and technical operations across video, audio, communications and radio systems. The operation is running nine separate production lines and handling more than 60 concurrent video feeds. Engineers are using over 21 RF links to support wireless camera transmissions and the setup processes in excess of 3,500 video signals.

Camera coverage includes more than 150 units, ranging from cinematic cameras to player-mounted rigs and specialist equipment. The production uses four Techno Cranes, three cable camera systems and three drones. More than 150 crew members from over 35 countries are engaged on the production.

Gravity Media prepares the final broadcast feeds. Distribution to viewers will be managed by rights partners already contracted for the event, including local broadcasters and streaming services.

Solène Zavagno, Gravity Media’s Global Account Director, noted: “Close coordination across teams and flexible technology are required to deliver an event of this scale.”

The Esports World Cup gathers multiple competitive titles under a single event. Industry networking around the closing weekend continues with Esports Leaders Paris on 21 August at the Hôtel du Collectionneur, where senior decision-makers from the esports and gaming sectors will meet.
