FURIA and Team Spirit are among the teams that have accepted invitations to compete at ESL Pro League Season 23.
Most notably, ESL Pro League Season 22 champion Team Vitality will not defend its title after the organisation declined its invitation, along with Team Falcons.
As a result of Team Vitality and Team Falcons deciding not to compete, Ninjas in Pyjamas and Passion UA have joined the 24-team line-up. These teams will be competing in online qualifiers from February 27th to March 9th, 2026.
