Honor of Kings Major League 2026: Schedule & Teams
VPEsports has published its schedule-and-teams hub for the Honor of Kings Major League 2026, the top-flight competitive circuit.
The published slate
The piece is positioned as the wire's reference board for the upcoming split — dates on one side, confirmed squads on the other. With teams typically closing out pre-season rosters against the published calendar, a schedule drop this far ahead of tip-off resets the negotiation clock for orgs still working free-agent calls and academy promotions. The team sheet is the first domino; every buyout figure, benching call, and verbal agreement downstream prices off the same window.
Roster read
Once the fixture list is on the record, the timing math tightens across every other roster variable. Verbal agreements between teams and unsigned players gain a sharper deadline, and holdout negotiations compress now that both sides can map deal terms against the published start date. For orgs still weighing bench-or-promote calls, the same slate caps the decision runway — moves that could once drift a week now have to land inside the run-up to roster lock. Unsigned free agents reading the team sheet get a quicker read on which rosters have closed their books and which still have live slots open.
Verified vs. what to track
On the record: VPEsports has published the schedule and team slate as the reference hub for the 2026 cycle.
Still pending: stage venue and host city, group-stage format, prize-pool detail, and any roster breaks before the freeze.
Next dominoes: venue and format announcement, regional qualifier integration, and any late-window buyout or free-agent move breaking before the lock. DailyGG will keep the lineup and calendar refreshed as the full VPEsports rundown expands.
