The prize pool for The International 2026 has surpassed the $3 million mark

The prize pool for The International 2026 reached $3 million on the third day of the tournament.

As of now, the prize pool has already surpassed that of The International 2024 and 2025. If it reaches $3.38 million, it will also exceed the 2023 figure.

The International 2026 is taking place in China from August 13 to 23; organizers initially planned for a $1.6 million prize pool—which is being supplemented by sales of team support packs and lighting crew packages.
