MSI Renews Red Bull Esports Hardware Deal for 2026

MSI has renewed its partnership with Red Bull, continuing as the official PC and laptop partner for the 2026 Red Bull League of its Own and Red Bull Home Ground esports events through its MSI Gaming Arena (MGA) brand.

Under the agreement, MSI will provide the gaming PCs used at both tournaments. Red Bull League of its Own, a League of Legends showcase, is scheduled for Dec. 5 at the Olimpic Arena Badalona in Barcelona, Spain. It will be the first time the event is held in Spain.

The competition will feature T1, the 2025 League of Legends world champion, led by Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok. The team will face three European teams: Movistar KOI, G2 Esports and Karmine Corp.

The 2026 Red Bull Home Ground tournament will feature VALORANT and form part of the game’s OFF//SEASON, the period between official competitive seasons. Online matches are scheduled for Dec. 10 and 11, followed by in-person finals at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Dec. 12 and 13.

Ten international teams will compete at the finals for a $100,000 prize pool. Announced participants include Sentinels, Fnatic, T1, G2, NRG, ZETA DIVISION, 100 Thieves and LOUD.

“MSI and Red Bull share a common vision for pushing boundaries and empowering global esports. We are proud to reunite with Red Bull through MGA,” Sam Chern, MSI’s vice president of marketing, wrote in a statement. He added that MSI would provide hardware designed to support stable processing and performance for the participating teams.

The renewed agreement follows the companies’ first partnership announcement in late 2025. MSI and Red Bull have not disclosed the commercial terms, including any arrangements for branding at venues, during broadcasts or on social media.
