ARRANGEMENTS will be made to continue to nurture qualified athletes systematically to win medals in the esports sector, according to the Myanmar Esports Summit 2026 held at Pan Pacific Yangon Hotel in Yangon.
At the Myanmar Esports Summit 2026, organized by the Myanmar Electronic Sports Federation (MESF), President of MESF Dr Kaung Myat San delivered a speech outlining the history of esports in Myanmar, the country’s achievement in winning its first-ever world championship title through esports, and plans to systematically develop national athletes to compete in world and ASEAN competitions. Federation Vice-President U Kyaw Htet Lin also explained the competitions included in the Myanmar Esports League ecosystem, the expansion of esports at university and basic levels, domestic tournaments to be held this year and international competitions.
“ Myanmar Esports Summit 2026 is an event to present the roadmap moving forward and to showcase the achievements gained in the esports sector in 2025. Myanmar will compete in the 20th Asian Games and the Esports World Cup to be held in Saudi Arabia. For these competitions, we will systematically prepare our teams, organize domestic tournaments, and nurture more outstanding athletes for the country. After winning the world championship title in 2025, the government recognized and awarded young esports athletes. These honours have become a new source of motivation for the youth, and the federation is extremely proud and delighted. We will continue striving with full dedication,” said Dr Kaung Myat San, president of MESF.
For the international competitions, the National Esports Championship Road to Asian Games, which is the highest Esports event in Myanmar, will be held from February to May, featuring three stages- qualifiers, groups and finals. The schedules will be announced on the MESL-Myanmar Esports League Facebook page.
