Fortnite just dropped a brand-new collab with Rematch, the fast-paced 5v5 football game by Sloclap — and it brings the Coach Gabi outfit straight to your locker. The best part? You can unlock it without spending a single V-Buck. In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how to get the free Rematch skin in Fortnite, what cosmetics are included, and what to do if the skin doesn’t show up.

| Skin Name | Coach Gabi |
| Game Collab | Rematch (by Sloclap) |

To get the Coach Gabi skin, you need to buy Rematch through the Epic Games Store Loyalty Promotion. The skin is automatically added to your Fortnite locker — no codes, no challenges, no V-Bucks.
Important: Use the same Epic account for both the Rematch purchase and Fortnite. A mismatched account is the #1 reason players don’t receive their skin.
The skin grants within minutes of checkout in most cases. If you gifted Rematch to a friend through the Epic Games Store, your friend also receives the Coach Gabi outfit — not you.
The Rematch x Fortnite collab adds the Coach Gabi outfit to your locker. Epic has confirmed that additional Rematch cosmetics may also arrive in the Fortnite Item Shop at a later date for direct V-Bucks purchase — though no release date has been confirmed yet.
If you’re not ready to buy Rematch, you can wait for the Item Shop drop. But if you plan to grab Rematch anyway, the gift-with-purchase route gets you the skin for free right now.
If Coach Gabi isn’t in your locker after buying Rematch, here’s what to check:
📝 Note: You do not need to install or even play Rematch to receive the Fortnite skin. The purchase alone qualifies you for the reward.
Technically, yes — no V-Bucks are involved. But you do need to spend $29.99 to buy Rematch. Think of it as a gift-with-purchase deal: you’re buying the game and getting the Fortnite skin as a bonus. If you’re a Fortnite-only player with no interest in Rematch, waiting for the Item Shop is the better call.
That said, Rematch itself is a solid game — a fast, skillful 5v5 soccer experience that’s been very well received since launch.
Epic teased the collaboration on Fortnite’s official social channels, with the Coach Gabi skin becoming grantable starting June 12, 2026.
No. Simply purchasing Rematch on the Epic Games Store is enough. You don’t need to download or play the game to receive Coach Gabi.
Yes, Epic has confirmed the Rematch cosmetics will appear in the Item Shop at a later date, though no specific date has been announced.
Yes. As long as your Epic account is linked to your console and you purchase Rematch on the Epic Games Store with that same account, the skin will appear in your locker on any platform you play Fortnite on.
