Host selection
The bid submission period for the 2026 MOF eSports Games ran from 12 November 2025 to 31 December 2025. Athabasca, Curnon, Mendersia, Nenggog, and Slitronia all placed a bid. Although host selection has been done by the MOF Commissioner Council since 2024, Curnon made several pieces of promotional material for its bid including 2 YouTube videos and a guide, and received endorsements from Arbores, Bushistan, Checkland and Tresca.
On 5 January 2026, the Commissioner Council announced results of the host selection voting. Curnon received four votes, ahead of Athabasca and Mendersia, who each received two. Nengogg and Slitronia both received zero. All of the bidding nations except Athabasca signed up for the games.
