Fortnite’s not slowing down with competitions, and this time Epic’s giving mobile players their own spotlight. The Blitz Mobile Cup is arriving this August, and with it comes a bunch of free rewards, including a brand-new outfit, pickaxe, emote, and even a back bling.

If you’re jumping in, here’s everything you need to know, when it starts, how to play, and what you can unlock.

What is the Blitz Mobile Cup?

The Blitz Mobile Cup is a solo tournament designed just for mobile players. Instead of the usual Battle Royale grind, Blitz matches are shorter and faster, so games will only last a couple of minutes.

Your goal is simple: rack up points through eliminations and placements, and climb the leaderboard. Depending on how well you perform, you’ll bag exclusive cosmetic rewards.

And the best part? Epic isn’t treating this like a one-off, the Cup will return weekly every Thursday from August 28th onwards, so you’ll have more than one chance to score the prizes.

When Does it Start?

The first Blitz Mobile Cup kicks off on Saturday, August 23rd. The start time depends on your region, and Fortnite’s giving plenty of time slots so everyone can join.

Here’s a quick rundown for some of the major time zones:

  • North America – East: August 23rd, 6 PM EDT (23rd, 11 PM BST / 24th, 12 AM CET / 24th, 7 AM JST)
  • North America – West: August 23rd, 5 PM PDT (23rd, 8 PM EDT / 24th, 1 AM BST / 24th, 2 AM CET / 24th, 9 AM JST)
  • North America – Central: August 23rd, 6 PM EDT (23rd, 11 PM BST / 24th, 12 AM CET / 24th, 7 AM JST)

Make sure you check the in-game Compete tab for your exact schedule, as it’ll be tied to your local servers.

Rewards – What Can You Win?

This is where things get exciting. The Blitz Mobile Cup comes with four reward tiers, and you don’t even need to place high to grab some of them.

  • Earn 5 Points: First Response Tac Pack Back Bling
  • Earn 20 Points: Gavel Banger Emote
  • Top Placement: Nite Unit Marksman Outfit
  • High Placement (Region Specific): Nite Unit Tac Axe Pickaxe

The Nite Unit Marksman Outfit is the standout prize, and it’s reserved for players who finish towards the top of their region’s leaderboard. Exact placement brackets vary depending on whether you’re in NA East, West, or Central, but in general, thousands of players will walk away with the rewards.

How To Compete

  • Log in on mobile – this Cup is specifically for Fortnite’s mobile players.
  • Check the Compete tab – find Blitz Mobile Cup, then register for the event.
  • Play your matches – aim for kills and high placements to rack up points quickly.
  • Hit the point goals – even if you’re not a pro, you can still unlock the emote and back bling just by grinding out points.
  • Push for leaderboard spots – if you want the outfit and pickaxe, consistency is key across your games.

Weekly Cups Are Here

This isn’t just a one-time event. Epic has confirmed Blitz Mobile Cups will now be a weekly fixture every Thursday, starting August 28th. That means more chances to improve your score and unlock what you might have missed the first time.

Final Thoughts

Fortnite continues to expand how players can earn rewards, and the Blitz Mobile Cup looks like one of the most accessible events yet. Whether you just want a free back bling or you’re chasing the full Nite Unit set, this Cup is worth jumping into.

So, sharpen your aim, keep an eye on your region’s schedule, and get ready to Blitz your way into some exclusive Fortnite loot.
