The Fortnite Global Championship 2026 has arrived at Lotto Arena in Antwerp, Belgium, and 50 Duos from across the globe are battling for a $2,000,000 prize pool. Here’s everything you need — live scores, the full prize breakdown, participating teams, and how to watch.
| Quick Facts | Details |
|---|---|
| Dates | September 26–27, 2026 |
| Venue | Lotto Arena, Antwerp, Belgium |
| Format | Duos, 6 matches/day (12 total) |
| Prize Pool | $2,000,000 |
| Teams | 50 Duos (100 players) |
Fifty Duos from Europe, NA Central, NA West, Brazil, Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania are competing across two days of Battle Royale matches, with placement and eliminations deciding the final standings. Day 1 wrapped with a tight battle at the top:
| Place | Team | Points | Elims |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Malibuca & Vico (BIG) | 304 | 25 |
| 2 | demuÅ› & darm (T1) | 282 | 26 |
| 3 | Koyota & yuma (ZETA) | 270 | 25 |
| 4 | pixie & SwizzY (HavoK) | 230 | 14 |
| 5 | Twi & Cr1nge (XP42) | 228 | 14 |
Japanese Duo Koyota and yuma stood out on Day 1, closing two Victory Royales to carry Asia into third place overall. Curve and Higgs opened the event with an early Victory Royale by controlling the high ground in Game 1. Day 2 continues the fight for the trophy, with cumulative points across both days deciding the champion.
This year’s Global Championship shifted from the Trios format used in [cy-1] to Duos, reworking how teams strategize around rotations and fights. Matches run from 4 PM to 9:30 PM CET each day, with the broadcast starting at 4 PM CEST and the first match kicking off at 5 PM CEST. Each day has six matches split into two blocks of three, with a 20-minute intermission between them.
The event follows months of qualification — starting with Divisional Cups in October, moving through two Majors and a Last Chance Qualifier, before the top 50 Duos earned their spot on the Antwerp stage.
By region: Europe leads with 21 Duos, followed by NA Central (14), NA West, Brazil, Asia, Middle East, and Oceania (3 each). Notable names include reigning stars like Clix, Peterbot, Malibuca, and Koyota, alongside regional standouts fighting for their first global title.
| Placement | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1st | $400,000 |
| 2nd | $240,000 |
| 3rd | $160,000 |
| 4th | $120,000 |
| 5th | $100,000 |
| 6th–10th | $80,000–$40,000 |
| 11th–20th | $38,000–$20,000 |
| 21st–50th | $18,000–$8,000 (bracketed) |
Every one of the 50 Duos walks away with a cash prize — even last place earns $8,000. The winning team also takes home the FNCS trophy and an exclusive, unreleased pickaxe called the Axe of Champions.
The Global Championship streams live on Fortnite’s official Twitch and YouTube channels, alongside a wide network of co-streaming pros. Viewers can also earn a free in-game reward — the Champion’s Chargers Kicks — as a Twitch Drop just for tuning in with a linked Epic account.
