For the first time, players of all levels will have the chance to compete globally in an online format, playing individually with and against robots – a unique and modern experience.
Highlights
$15,000 in Prizes – including awards for junior players under 25.
- Robot Duplicates
- Matchpoint Scoring
- Masterpoints & Titles Awarded
3 Stages (and 2 Cups to play for):

Key Dates
The qualification phase will run from 1st to 28th September 2025.
Players who advance will compete in a semi-final and final with generous cash prizes and WBF Master Points awarded to top performers.
But that’s not all! Players who don’t make it to the semi-final can continue in the e-Cup2, also offering excellent cash prizes. This structure ensures that everyone has a reason to play, especially newer and younger players.
Full details, including the event format, entry fees and registration, can be found here:
Official Presentation
A Vision for the Future
The E-Bridge Cup isn’t just a competition – it’s a bold step into the future of bridge. With Human vs Artificial Intelligence play, it offers elite players a new kind of training experience. It also aligns perfectly with the potential inclusion of bridge in the Olympic ESports Games in 2027.
This event is very important for the future of our game. Help us bring together players from around the world and validate bridge’s bid for the Olympic ESports Games.
Together we can make the E-Bridge Cup a success. Let’s bring Bridge to every home, every screen, and every generation.
