Esports powerhouse G2 has confirmed the return of its football team, G2 FC, to Kings League Germany for a second season. The team, which debuted last year with a strong third-place finish and a berth in the Kings League World Cup, officially kicked off its new campaign on Oct. 12 in Cologne. According to Esports Charts, G2 FC was the second most-watched team in Germany during its first season, cementing its growing appeal among fans.

Kings League Germany’s second season began with a launch event at MMC Studios Cologne, unveiling team rosters and kits. Founded in 2022 by former FC Barcelona and Spanish national team player Gerard Piqué, the global seven-a-side Kings League has expanded to multiple countries, including Spain and Italy. The German league features two groups of four teams competing through November, with the Final Four scheduled for Nov. 15. The winner will advance to the European Final in Berlin on Nov. 22 to face the top teams from other leagues.
