The best Fortnite players from every region of the game will be here, and all playing in one lobby. With the biggest prize pool in competitive Fortnite at stake. But when is Fortnite Globals 2025, when can you watch it, and how will the whole tournament work?

When is Fortnite Globals 2025?

The Fortnite Globals 2025 are the Global Championship, the end of year tournament that wraps things up. Each of the FNCS Majors has been a qualifier. Players are trying to get a share of the season’s prize pool but also their slot at the LAN. Things are very different in this lobby, since it’s an international event. FNCS Globals Teams that get a solo drop on a medallion will have to be much more competitive at Globals. As an in-person tournament, we won’t have the normal different times for different regions, so when is Fortnite Globals 2025?

The tournament will be taking place over September 6-7th. Both days are the finals, so there’s no earlier rounds on Day 1. The event will be running for a few hours each day, while six games are played. These are the start times for the first match of Day 1 in different time zones:

  • 17:10 BST
  • 12:10 ET
  • 09:10 PT
  • 18:10 CET

That’s when the first game is going to begin! On Day 1, the final game is scheduled for 20:05 BST. On Day 2, the very last game should start at 20:05. Although, if you’re following along with the stream, there’s a little more happening at Fortnite Globals 2025 that you won’t want to miss.

When Are the Streams?

That’s when is Fortnite Globals 2025 but the stream will be a bit different. The official stream of the tournament will likely start a few hours before.

Typically for an FNCS broadcast, this is mainly build up. Casters discussing the teams taking part, the format of the event. However, for the Fortnite Globals 2025 it’ll have more to offer. Since the player are all in one room, we can expect some interviews and to see some of the things happening in the arena. Like the player walk outs, which are always a grandiose affair.

The streams will also have content in between games. At this year’s Pro-Am LAN, a server crash meant quite a bit of time filling. Hopefully things go smoother this time. But we’re still expecting some time with just casters talking in between.

Last year we saw key announcements for the next year of Fortnite esports take place mid-tournament. So it’s definitely worth catching all of the coverage. There’s also the ceremony at the end where we’ll get to see the FNCS LAN winners lift the trophy.

What can you expect at the FNCS Globals 2025? The tournament is going to be running in a familiar format for Fortnite fans, it’s usually the same system. It’ll be two days of six games. An overall leaderboard is in place, with points given for kills and placement. At the end of all twelve games, the players on the top are the new champions.

There’s no extra rules this time. No requirement to win a Victory Royale, no extra points on Day 2. It’s purely consistency.

The tournament is most interesting since we don’t get too many international events. Fans can watch along with NAC and EU Fortnite regions for each Major, but here it’s the whole world. There’s always a Trio that’s gone under the radar in these regions that outperform at the LAN.

One example is Rise, Koyota, and Yuma. This is a Japanese Trio coming in rom the Asia region. They had an amazing performance in Major 3, with loads of wins dominating the leaderboard. They also won Major 1 too, which is a strong run.

In the bigger regions, the standouts are well known as some of the best Fortnite players. We’ve got the Trios of Peterbot, Acorn, and Cold, along with Pollo, Ajerss, and Acorn. These two teams have been trading all season. One trio wins a Major, the other does. Major 3 came down to a hot drop between them to decide the winner These two trios will likely be a focus at the LAN, especially since the star player of each are winners of last year’s LAN.

But with the top players from all around the world there’s room for some surprises. Make sure to catch the games to see who comes out on top.
