2026 FNCS Global Championship

The FNCS Global Championship, also known as the Fortnite Global Championship, or simply Globals, is an annual Fortnite Battle Royale LAN tournament. Regarded as the largest recurring Fortnite tournament today, its champions are considered both FNCS winners and world champions. Since the first tournament in 2023, three FNCS Global Championships have been held. Team size has varied by year, following the competitive format; the 2023 and 2024 tournaments were held in duos, the 2025 in trios, and the upcoming 2026 will be held in duos.

Usually, players qualify to the FNCS Global Championship through a high placement on any of the three Major FNCS tournaments preceding the championship, with certain regions awarding more qualification spots than others. Exceptions include an additional "Last Chance Major" ahead of the 2023 Globals, and the "Major 1 Summit" replacing Major 1 in terms of qualifying players for the upcoming 2026 Globals.

Background

Prior to the FNCS Global Championships, Epic Games organized multiple LAN tournaments, most notably the Fortnite World Cup and the FNCS Invitational 2022.[1][2] Since the Fortnite World Cup, Epic Games also host FNCS tournaments seasonally.

Overview

The 2023 FNCS Global Championship was held between October 13–15, 2023 in the Royal Arena, Copenhagen, Denmark and was played in duos, featuring a $4,000,000 prize pool. Eventual winning duo Cooper 'Cooper' Smith and Matthew 'Mero' Faitel formed in April 2023 after the latter had initially retired but decided to let a coin toss decide if he would play with the former; the coin toss went in Smith's favour. The duo qualified to the Global Championship through a second place finish in FNCS Major 2. At the Global Championship, the duo ended up qualifying for the Grand Finals, despite having been relegated to the Lower Bracket on day one. They then won the grand finals with 330 points and the most total eliminations of any duo, albeit without any Victory Royales.[3] Besides sharing $1,000,000 in prize money, Smith and Faitel were awarded a trophy made by Swarovski featuring the FNCS logo.[4] Polish duo Michał 'Kami' Kamiński and Iwo 'Setty' Zając were often regarded as favorites ahead of the tournament, having won the previous year's FNCS Invitational LAN, but they finished as runners up with 271 points.[3]

In the day one Upper Bracket, Japanese duo Nomura 'Pepoclip' Yuma and Yamada 'Zagou' Yuto notably circumvented the storm surge mechanic – a mechanic punishing the duos that have dealt the least amount of damage to others – by healing a knocked opponent and damaging him, accruing damage to avoid storm surge, and eventually qualifying to the Grand Finals.[3]

Being a global LAN, the tournament featured a rivalry between Europe and North America. Though the winners were North American, nine Victory Royales were achieved by European duos across the tournament, compared to five by North American duos.[3]

The tournament was the most-watched Fortnite tournament since the World Cup in terms of peak viewership, reaching over 720,000 viewers.[5]

Qualification

Qualification took place in FNCS Majors 1–3 2023, as well as in the FNCS Last Chance Major. Between Majors 1 and 2, the regions North America East and North America West were combined into North America Central. Thus, duos qualified to the Global Championship through all three North American regions.

Team changes

Russian players Egor 'SwizzY' Luciko, Daniil 'Putrick' Abdrakhmanov, NeFrizi, Vladislav 'Howly' Korobkin and Alexander 'fiR3hUNTER' Vysotsky were disqualified before the event due to the Russo-Ukrainian war. The qualification spots belonging to Luciko & Abdrakhmanov and NeFrizi & Korobkin were rolled down to Charyy & Artur 'G13ras' Gierasimowicz and Lukas 'Cheatiin' Luhn & Wilmer 'Pixie' Juriander, respectively. Other Russian players such as Danila 'Malibuca' Iakovenko were allowed to play because of qualifying outside of Russia.[6][7] Cl4x couldn't obtain a visa to compete at the event.[6] Cl4x and Vysotsky's respective teammates – kirb1 and Jack 'Wickesy' Withers – played the tournament together.[6]

At the event, Oceanian Major 3 winners Morgan 'RepulseGod' Bamford and Jace were disqualified from the event due to another player having qualified on Bamford's account.[8] Logan 'Bucke' Eschenburg got disqualified for violating the tournament's Code of Conduct, reportedly specifically for smoking and drinking while streaming at the tournament, which wasn't allowed.[9] Thus, Eschenburg's teammate Arnel 'Okis' Avdagic played the tournament alone.

Format

The tournament began with the Upper Bracket session on October 13 featuring all teams 49 qualified from the regular FNCS tournaments. The top 25 teams from the Upper Bracket qualified to the Grand Finals, while the remaining 24 competed against the teams qualified from the Last Chance Major in the Lower Bracket on October 14 for the remaining 25 Grand Finals spots. The Grand Finals took place on October 15. The Upper and Lower Brackets featured five matches each, and the Grand Finals featured six.[10]

Overview

The 2024 FNCS Global Championship was held between September 7–8, 2024, in the Dickies Arena, Fort Worth, Texas and was played in duos.[12] Winning duo Peter 'Peterbot' Kata and Miguel 'Pollo' Moreno formed ahead of the FNCS Major 1 2024 and finished runners up behind Abdullah 'Acorn' Akhras and Joshua 'Cold' Butler in that tournament, before winning Major 2 with a record-breaking 1,092 points,[13] and then winning Major 3.[14] The duo achieved a 147 point lead above second-placed Aleksa 'Queasy' Cvetkovic and Thomas 'Th0masHD' Høxbro Davidsen at the end of day one, but let that cushion shrink to 37 points ahead of the twelfth and final game; Cvetkovic and Høxbro Davidsen were the only duo with a chance to overtake Kata and Moreno at that point, but were eliminated in 29th place while Kata and Moreno obtained their fourth Victory Royale, winning the tournament with 985 points to Cvetkovic and Høxbro Davidsen's 776.[15]

At its peak, the tournament was watched by 809,000 people, roughly 80,000 more than the 2023 edition.[16]

Team changes

Vanyak3kk and Night couldn't obtain visas for the event and were thus replaced by Japko and Kwanti, respectively. Turtle couldn't attend the event and was replaced by Krisp. Pixo was disqualified and Milo couldn't attend; their spot was awarded to North American duo Rise & Ajerss.[17] Initially, underage Canadian player Eomzo was supposed to play with Wqzzi, replacing Arrow – who also couldn't obtain a visa – but was himself forced to leave the event due to erroneously filling out his legal paperwork, as well as his legal chaperone, streamer Faxuty, being kicked from the event.[18] Wqzzi was also disqualified after, according to himself, having been deemed "suspicious" by hotel staff. Arrow & Wqzzi were finally replaced by North American duo Braydz & Visxals.

Format

Teams were awarded points for eliminating opponents and outliving them, with 1.5 times more points being awarded on day 2, except for Victory Royales, which gave 65 and 100 points on days 1 and 2 respectively. Each eliminations was as such worth 4 points on day 1 and 6 points on day 2.

Overview

The 2025 FNCS Global Championship was held between September 6–7, 2025, in the LDLC Arena, Lyon-Décines, France.[21] The tournament's eventual winners Egor 'SwizzY' Luciko, Aleksa 'Queasy' Cvetkovic and Andrejs 'Merstach' Piratovs qualified through placing fifth in the FNCS Major 2. With Cvetkovic as in-game leader, the trio ended day 1 of the Global Championship with a 185-point lead, much thanks to winning three straight games. Conversely, the trio struggled on day 2, only earning 176 points, but were still able to win the tournament, their cushion having shrunk to only 47 points.[22] Cvetkovic had previously placed 2nd at the FNCS Invitational 2022 and the 2024 Globals; Luciko had been kicked from the 2023 Globals and saw his teammate unable to attend the 2024 Globals due to visa issues; Piratovs had previously been relatively unsuccessful at LAN events, never placing higher than 15th. The victory improved Cvetkovic's standings in terms of most consistent LAN player of all time, and best IGL of all time.[23][24]

Although North American teams such as Peter 'Peterbot' Kata's and Miguel 'Pollo' Moreno's had often been considered favorites to win the tournament,[25] Europe proved the dominant region with eight trios inside the top 10, to North America's two. Polish, Russian and Scandinavian players were especially successful at the event.[26]

The French audience was especially vocal, booing players such as Peter 'Peterbot' Kata, Michał 'Kami' Kamiński and Iwo 'Setty' Zając while cheering for players representing French esports organization Gentle Mates, including winners Egor 'SwizzY' Luciko and Andrejs 'Merstach' Piratovs.[22][26]

Watched by over 950,000 people at its peak, the event is the most-watched Fortnite tournament since the World Cup.[26]
