DreamHack, one of the world's largest gaming festivals, makes its highly anticipated return to Atlanta May 15–17. DreamHack Atlanta transforms the Georgia World Congress Center into a three-day celebration of gaming, esports, cosplay, and creator culture, bringing everything gaming under one roof.
This year's festival will host Atlanta's first-ever Call of Duty League® Major alongside the city's inaugural Intel® Extreme Masters (IEM) Counter-Strike tournament, where top international teams will battle it out for a $1 million prize pool.
Beyond the competitive stage, DreamHack delivers a full festival experience featuring a massive gaming expo floor, the Cosplay Championship, creator and voice actor appearances, indie game showcases, free-play and retro gaming, Artist Alley, live main stage entertainment, community tournaments, and immersive fan experiences for gamers and fans of all ages.
DreamHack Atlanta 2026 stands as the festival's only U.S. stop this year and celebrates its eighth year in Atlanta, the city it has called home more than any other in the country.
