Brawl Stars 2026 esports events schedule

Loading

After a massive 2025, where Supercell solidified its place among the mobile esports hierarchy's elite, the Brawl Stars Championship (BSC) 2026 has officially been confirmed. This year, the Finnish mobile game development company has partnered with BLAST to overhaul the ecosystem, delivering a more intense, high-stakes roadmap for players and fans alike.

With a massive $2 million prize pool on offer and a shift in how teams qualify for the game's world championship, the Brawl Stars World Finals, the 2026 season is set to be the most competitive in the history of the hero shooter. Below is your complete guide to the Brawl Stars esports events schedule 2026.

Key Format Changes for the 2026 Brawl Stars Championship

Supercell and BLAST have introduced several "Quality of Life" and strategic updates to the 2026 circuit. In order to adopt a refined ban system, Supercell has introduced Global Match Bans and Visible Match Bans to increase tactical depth.

The Map pick system will mean that teams will now have more agency in selecting the battleground for their sets. Moreover, in a move aimed at offsetting the importance attached to the "Pro Rank", all teams, regardless of status, must now qualify through the in-game Championship Challenge. Supercell will also focus on eliminating "backstage" matches to ensure every critical set is broadcast live.

The 2026 Brawl Stars Esports Roadmap: Splits & LANs

The 2026 circuit is divided into two distinct competitive phases: the Spring split (February to April) and the Summer split (June to August). The season is anchored by three marquee live events that will see the world’s best teams battle for global dominance.

The total prize pool is $2 million, with the circuit including six online monthly seasons and three live LAN events. Supercell has partnered with the prominent esports organizer BLAST to take care of the 2026 season, so fans can expect top-notch production quality and livestreaming action.

Brawl Stars Spring Split 2026: Championship Challenge & Monthly Finals

The road to the World Finals kicked off on January 30 with the return of the Championship Challenge. This in-game qualifier is the only way for players to reach the regional Monthly Finals.

February Monthly Finals Schedule

The first major points of the year are up for grabs during the February finals:

• East Asia: February 14
• EMEA: February 15
• South America: February 22
• North America: February 23

March and April: Regional Grind for BSC Points

Throughout March and April, the top organizations — including prominent names like NAVI, HMBLE, and SK Gaming — will continue accumulating BSC points. These points are critical for securing an invite to the first major LAN of the year.

Brawl Cup Berlin 2026: Mid-Season LAN Event Details

In a historic first for the circuit, the Brawl Cup 2026 is heading to Berlin, Germany. It will take place from May 15 to 17 at the Uber Eats Music Hall in the European nation's capital. 12 elite sides (two from each major region, including China, South America West and SESA) will be seen in action as they look to claim one of the game's most coveted trophies.

This mid-season "tentpole" event is more than just a trophy run; teams can earn extra World Finals slots for their region and a significant share of the seasonal prize pool.

Brawl Stars Summer Split 2026: Path to the World Finals

From June to September, the competition moves into the Summer split. To ensure consistent performance is rewarded, Supercell has adjusted the point weighting, with Summer Split points now carrying a 1.5x multiplier (down from 2x in previous years) to prevent late-season "flukes" from overshadowing early consistency.

• South Asia & Southeast Asia (SESA): 2026 introduces an alternative "Road to Brawl Cup" path for these subregions, ensuring broader global representation.
• South America West: A newly prioritized region for the 2026 circuit.

Grand Finale: Last Chance Qualifiers & Brawl Stars World Finals

The year culminates in two high-octane events in October and November.

Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) – October 2026

The LCQ features eight teams fighting for the final two slots at the World Finals. This two-day LAN event is known for being the most intense "win or go home" weekend in mobile esports.

Brawl Stars World Finals – November 2026

The crown jewel of the Brawl Stars Championship 2026 will feature the top 12 teams on the planet. It will take up the lion's share of the $2 million total. The location is yet to be announced, although Supercell has revealed that it is targeting an "esports-ready" major city.

The slots are allocated as follows:

• 3 for EMEA
• 2 each for North America, South America & East Asia
• 2 slots go to the Last Chance Qualifier winners
