History is made!
We are incredibly proud to welcome Bean’s Hot Sauce Co. as the official League of Fire Season Sponsor for 2026! 🌶️🔥
This is a historic milestone for the League – our first-ever full season sponsor – and a major step forward in establishing competitive chilli-eating as a true global extreme sport. 🌍🏆
We’re thrilled to now have both a season sponsor and a prize sponsor for 2026. These partnerships directly support the League of Fire and its competitors, and they play a vital role in the continued growth of chilli eating on the world stage.
This collaboration has been building for some time. In 2025, Bean’s Hot Sauce Co. became the first hot sauce company in the world to fully back a belt match and proudly sponsored the first-ever League of Fire Africa Belt Match, helping make the launch of League of Fire Africa a huge success. Bean’s then went on to sponsor further Belt Matches in the US and their sauces were also featured in multiple matches in the 2025 World Chilli Eating Championship tournament circuit, including our World Title Match, along with several other Belt Matches across the United States and Europe.
Bean’s Hot Sauce Co has cemented their place in modern League of Fire history from sponsoring hot sauce rounds across America and beyond to fully backing Belt Matches, their support has helped shape the future of the sport.
🌶️ Bean’s Hot Sauce Co. delivers a fiery lineup of bold, flavour-packed sauces and salsas, made with fresh ingredients and ranging from mild to brutally superhot – perfect for everyday meals and extreme heat training alike. Fan favourites include Smoky Death, Cat-saicin’s Revenge, Fury! Salsa, Drunken Dragon, and more – all built around serious flavour and serious fire.
🔥 Founded by chilli-head and flavour fanatic David “Beans” Gingras, Bean’s Hot Sauce Co. is a small-batch craft sauce company known for sauces with attitude, intensity, and unforgettable heat. Every bottle is made with care, character, and just the right amount of chaos.
😼 And yes – the name “Beans” also honours the brand’s iconic and much-loved black cat mascot. A mischievous feline with a serious spice addiction, Bean the cat has become a symbol of the brand’s bold, playful spirit – often spotted lurking behind hot sauce booths, silently judging and plotting global spicy domination.
🔥 From classic heat to savage superhot levels, Bean’s has something for every chilli head – and now they’re fuelling our champions as they push their Scoville limits in 2026! 🔥
Please join us in thanking Bean’s Hot Sauce Co. for their incredible support and for joining the LOF Team for 2026.
2026 is going to be epic. 💪🌶️🔥
