Fortnite has revealed details on the 2025 edition of Champions Road, a tournament series taking place across a range of game modes.

The free-to-play battle royale title will introduce new tournament formats in the Chapter 6 Season 4 update launching on August 7th.

The Reload Quick Cups are new for Chapter 6 Season 4. Winners will receive exclusive cosmetic items and cash prizes once the FNCS Global Championship reaches its conclusion.

For Battle Royale, Epic Games has adjusted the format for the Divisional Cups taking place throughout the season. Duos have become the new squad size, resulting in an expansion of the number of divisions in Europe and North America Central to five.

Elsewhere, players across all platforms are eligible to compete in the Solo Series. Those who qualify for the Solo Series Final at the end of the season will compete for cash prizes.

Outside of the tournaments featuring cash prizes, Champions Road features several tournaments where players can earn a variety of cosmetic items before they arrive in the in-game store.

The launch of Champions Road follows the launch of the Fantastic Four Cup, which arrived with the title’s recent collaboration with Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four: First Steps movie.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
