The 2026 Kings World Cup Nations was an international seven-a-side football tournament based on the Kings League format created by Gerard Piqué and Ibai Llanos. It was the second edition of the Kings World Cup Nations, and took place from 3 to 17 January 2026 in Brazil, with São Paulo's Allianz Parque designated as the venue for the final.
The tournament has been expanded to 20 teams with five groups of four, with the top team from each group advancing directly to the quarterfinals, while the second-placed and best third-placed teams play a last-chance round.
As usual in the Kings League, each national team was chaired by a streamer or a football related personality, but this time the chairpersons were given the title of 'captains', akin to tennis' Davis Cup. The 20 teams were announced during the Kings League Kickoff Day livestream on 11 October 2025. This edition saw the debuts of Algeria, Chile, France, India, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Poland, and Qatar; while Turkey, Ukraine, Korea Republic, and Uzbekistan did not return. Belgium was initially announced as a competing team, but on 29 November 2025, it was replaced by Algeria.
