A dedicated women’s competition will run under the name Yalla Saudi Esports League for Women, featuring tournaments in Overwatch 2, Valorant, EA FC 26, and Call of Duty Black Ops 7. Yalla Group Limited joins the league as an official partner and presenting partner of the women’s competition.

The Saudi Esports Fighting League will focus on the fighting games community through professional competitions and community tournaments aimed at developing local talent for international esports events.

Clubs will compete across the league’s tournaments to accumulate points in a season-long Club Championship. The club that finishes the season at the top of the standings will receive a grand prize of SAR 1 million. Twisted Minds secured the championship title in the 2025 season.
