Announcement of FNCS 2024 Season Details

With Chapter 5 set to kickstart the Fortnite competitive season, players eagerly anticipate the workings of the FNCS 2024 season. While the past two years witnessed significant transformations within the Fortnite Champion Series, this season retains many elements that proved successful in the past, with some nuanced adjustments.

The FNCS 2024 season promises an impressive prize pool totaling $7,675,000, spanning across all three Majors and the end-of-year LAN. This financial incentive solidifies Fortnite esports as one of the premier contenders in competitive gaming.

The tournament structure closely mirrors that of the previous year, featuring three majors throughout the year. Each region will host these Majors during the first three Seasons of Chapter 5, with players accumulating series points based on their performance. The top-ranking players from all three majors will then advance to the end-of-year LAN. While details for the end-of-year Global Championship are yet to be fully disclosed, similarities with the previous year’s BLAST Fortnite finale are expected.

A notable change for this season is the absence of the Last Chance Major, making it imperative for players to secure their spot at the end-of-year event during the three majors.

Major Structure

The FNCS 2024 season predominantly revolves around the Majors, introducing a new format. Two open qualifiers kick off the cycle, each spanning a weekend, followed by a by-week for player preparation. Subsequently, a semi-final occurs on one weekend, culminating in a grand final the following weekend. This elongated Major format, spread across more of the season, offers improved pacing compared to previous years, which saw competitive play condensed into a few brief weeks.

The most elite Fortnite players will vie for victory in these finals, striving to secure coveted spots at the Global Championship. The first Major is slated to commence on January 26, concluding on February 25, followed by the second in April and May, and the third in June to July.

These Fortnite tournaments represent the zenith of competitive play for the game. The FNCS 2024 event promises to be a year-round spectacle, providing an opportunity for potential newcomers to ascend to the pinnacle of the game.
