The International 2026 Live Event Broadcast RFP and Broadcast License Requests

The International returns to Shanghai, China in August 2026, and we’d like to invite all companies interested in producing and distributing regional language broadcasts of The International 2026 to apply now.

For the Live Event Broadcast Production of this year's show, we’ll be accepting proposals for Russian and Spanish language broadcast partners. The RFP (Request For Proposal) documentation and instructions for submissions can be found here.

For those seeking additional licenses and feeds, please fill out the form below that pertains to the correct request:

• Production companies seeking a commercial license to produce a regional language broadcast of The International 2026 without additional access to the event can apply here.
• Streaming platforms interested in restreaming the official broadcast feeds to their platform can apply here.

Fans interested in trying their own hands at casting are welcome to create strictly noncommercial casts from DotaTV that follow the Dota 2 Community Streaming License, and do not need to make an official request.

Please reach out to [email protected] with any additional questions.

Thanks in advance to everyone interested in working with us to bring The International 2026 to life.
