The prize pool for The International 2026 has reached $2.69 million after nine days of support pack sales

Five days after the release of support bundles for participants and studio staff, the prize pool for The International 2026 reached $2,695,774.

Over the past two days, the total has increased by nearly $79,000—on the seventh day of sales, the prize pool stood at $2,617,138. Despite a gradual slowdown in growth, donations are still outpacing the figures from 2025 for the same period.

Initially, Valve added $1,600,000 to The International 2026 prize pool. Last year, the developers raised the percentage of sales allocated to the prize pool from 25% to 30%—this year, it has remained at the same level.
