LAN Downunder 2026 is set to take place on July 18-19th at Fortress Arena in Melbourne, marking a significant milestone for the Australian Team Fortress 2 competitive scene. The event not only aims to crown the next national champion but also celebrates CappingTV's ten-year anniversary of broadcasting TF2 matches.
