Gamers Assembly Festival Edition 2027 (Poitiers)
France's longest-running LAN and esports festival returns to Poitiers over the Easter weekend, 27-29 March 2027, with amateur and pro tournaments, a BYOC LAN hall and a public gaming village.
Gamers Assembly Festival Edition 2027 is scheduled for Saturday 27 to Monday 29 March 2027 in Poitiers, France, according to the official Gamers Assembly site. It is one of the largest and oldest LAN events in Europe: the festival has been running since the year 2000 and traditionally fills the Easter weekend with three days of competitive play.
The core of the event is the LAN: hundreds of players bring their own PCs (BYOC) and compete in tournaments across the big esports titles - previous editions have hosted Counter-Strike, League of Legends, Rocket League, fighting games, FIFA/EA FC and more, usually with both open brackets for amateurs and invitational stages for pro teams. Around the LAN hall there is a free-entry festival zone with exhibitors, retro gaming, cosplay and stage shows, which makes it a family-friendly day out for visitors as well as a serious weekend for competitors.
The 2026 Festival Edition was held at the Parc des Expositions de Grand Poitiers; the venue for 2027 has not yet been confirmed on the official page, nor have ticket prices or the game list. For Balkan teams looking for a big open LAN with a long tradition and an international field, Gamers Assembly is one of the few European events of this scale that is still built around community players rather than invite-only pros. Registrations usually open a few months before the event on gamers-assembly.net.
