Fortnite FNCS 2025: Format, start date, Global Championship, and rewards
Format
Epic Games is bringing an improved format, centered around a divisional structure. Each Major will feature multiple stages: Play-In, Group Stage, Last Chance Qualifier, and Major Finals. Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 will begin with the FNCS Trial on December 7, 2024, where players will be placed into Division 1, 2, or 3 based on their performance.
Players can climb divisions and earn more prizes throughout the season by performing better in weekly matches. Only Division 1 players can qualify for the Play-In Stage, and eventually, the Major Finals. Similar to last year, there will be three Major Finals.
