The ESL Pro League Season 24 Finals will be held in front of a live audience at the Spodek Arena in Katowice, Poland from Oct. 9-11, 2026, the ESL FACEIT Group announced Tuesday.

Season 24 will take place from Sept. 24-Oct. 11, 2026, with teams competing for a $1 million prize pool. The Katowice announcement marks the league's return to live arena finals for the first time since 2019 in Odense, Denmark.

'For over a decade, ESL Pro League has been a cornerstone of competitive Counter-Strike, and we've been eager to bring it back in front of a big live audience, as esports is at its best when experienced live in-person,' Marc Winther, Director Game Ecosystems - Counter-Strike, at ESL FACEIT Group, said in a statement. 'Katowice has been the birthplace of dozens of champions, and Spodek Arena has witnessed countless iconic moments over the years - it's where Counter-Strike truly took a massive leap. With its storied history and inimitable atmosphere, there's no better place for our fans to enjoy the thrill of ESL Pro League live.'

Other cities that have played host to live arena finals for the league include Dallas, Montpellier, France and Sao Paulo, Brazil.
