The Brawl Cup 2026 is officially heading to Berlin, with tournament organiser BLAST confirming that next year’s event will take place live at the Uber Eats Music Hall from May 15 to May 17, 2026.

The announcement follows a new multi-year partnership signed between BLAST and Supercell at the end of 2025, marking a major shift for Brawl Stars esports. For the first time, the Brawl Cup will move from a purely digital competition to a full in-person arena event in Germany.

Ticket details and pricing have not yet been revealed, but organisers say more information will be shared closer to the event.

Berlin Confirmed As First Live Stop For 2026

The 2026 Brawl Cup will run across three days at the Uber Eats Music Hall in Berlin, making it the first-ever live edition of this specific tournament circuit.

According to official releases, Berlin is only the beginning. Two additional live event locations are planned for the 2026 competitive calendar, though those cities have not yet been announced.

For BLAST, this marks another expansion beyond its traditional shooter portfolio, which includes titles like Counter-Strike and Rainbow Six Siege. The UK-based organiser is now investing heavily in mobile esports production, aiming to bring larger arena shows and more polished broadcasts to the Brawl Stars ecosystem.

Full Breakdown Of The 2026 Brawl Stars Competitive Season

Earlier this year, Supercell unveiled the full esports roadmap for 2026. The season will span nine months, running from February through to October.

The structure includes six online seasons and three in-person events, with a combined prize pool of $2 million, roughly £1.46 million.

BLAST will deliver 32 broadcast days across the online stages and operate the live events featuring the top teams from five regional competitions:

  • EMEA
  • North America
  • South America
  • Southeast Asia
  • China

This expanded format signals a more structured global calendar compared to previous years.

How Teams Qualify For The Brawl Cup

The road to Berlin begins in-game.

The Brawl Stars Championship remains open to all players who can reach the monthly qualifiers through the Championship Challenge event. From there, the top eight teams from each qualifier advance to the Monthly Finals.

At the Monthly Finals, teams compete for prize money and leaderboard points. Those points determine qualification for three major milestones:

The Brawl Cup
The Last-Chance Qualifier
The Brawl Stars World Finals

This system keeps the grassroots pathway intact while still building towards high-production arena events at the top level.

New Match Predictions And Fan Rewards

Supercell and BLAST are also introducing new interactive features for viewers in 2026.

Fans watching live broadcasts will be able to participate in match predictions. Correct guesses will unlock in-game rewards, including pins, icons and drops.

The addition is designed to deepen engagement during broadcast days and make online viewing more interactive rather than passive.

A Broader Push For Mobile Esports In Europe

While Berlin is currently the headline, the wider strategy suggests a bigger ambition.

BLAST’s move into Brawl Stars follows recent live event success, including a Brawl event in Malta won by Parivision. With three in-person events scheduled for 2026 and two locations still to be revealed, the publisher and organiser appear to be positioning Brawl Stars as one of Europe’s leading mobile esports titles.

With the first-ever live Brawl Cup locked in for May 2026, all eyes now turn to ticket announcements and the remaining venue reveals later this year.
