Team Vitality renews Stade de France residency through 2026

Team Vitality has renewed its residency at Stade de France through 2026 and will continue to train and operate from the stadium’s Performance Centre in Saint-Denis, north of Paris. The club did not disclose financial terms.

The organisation moved into the facility in June 2019 and has used it as its permanent base since then. Neither Team Vitality nor Stade de France provided details on whether the agreement extends beyond 2026 or on any commercial terms.

The Vitality Performance Centre sits within the 80,000-seat stadium and provides players with mental and physical coaching, high-performance technical infrastructure and a dedicated training environment. Team Vitality has said the centre supports its competitive operations.

In its announcement, Team Vitality wrote: “Since 2019, our Performance Center has seen our talents grow. Our teams have worked tirelessly there: legends have been born there, and others will take up the baton.” The organisation did not provide further detail on programming, staffing or planned investments tied to the renewed residency.

The partnership began in June 2019 when Team Vitality became the first esports club to establish a permanent presence inside the national stadium. The club’s Counter-Strike 2 roster trained at the facility during their championship run.

Separately, Team Vitality has expanded its commercial activity in 2026, signing Japanese fighting game player Shoji “Fenritti” Sho and partnering with Team Havok to compete at Esports World Cup 2026 under the Team Vitality banner while maintaining its Paris base.
