The 2026 Kings World Cup Clubs is an international seven-a-side football tournament. It is the third edition of the Kings World Cup Clubs, a competition based in the Kings League format created by Gerard Piqué and Ibai Llanos, and features the top clubs from the international versions of the Kings League. Spain's Los Troncos FC are automatically qualified as the defending world champions, having won the 2025 tournament.[1] On 21 May, it was announced that the tournament will take place in Italy from 26 July to 1 August.[2]

Slot allocation

A revised slot allocation was announced on 5 March 2026, with the tournament scaling down from 32 to 16 teams, and not featuring any wildcards for the first time. On 27 March, it was announced that Kings League MENA wouldn't run their Split 1 until October, due to the 2026 Iran war.[3] The two vacant spots left by the split's suspension were given to Kings Cup MENA runners-up FWZ and Kings League Italy Split 2 third-place finishers Stallions, as revealed alongside the host nation announcement on 21 May 2026.[4]

Format

The 2026 Kings World Cup Clubs employs a downsized, 16-team version of the previous years' format, which includes features of a Swiss-system tournament.

First stage
  • In the first round, the 16 teams each play one match, with the pairings decided by a random draw, with no restrictions based on nation coincidence.
  • All teams advance to the second round, with the teams that won their first-round match going to a 'winner bracket' and the teams that lost going to a 'loser bracket'.
  • The teams of the 'winner bracket' that win their second round match will immediately qualify for the knockout stage, while the losing teams will face the winning teams from the 'loser bracket' in a last-chance round. The winners of the last-chance round will join the 'winner bracket' second-round winners in the knockout stage.
Knockout stage
  • The knockout stage consists of quarterfinals, semifinals and a final.
