Below, we break down everything players need to know, including schedules, prize pools, formats, and the road to the Mobile Series Championship.
A New Chapter for Fortnite Mobile Esports
Epic Games has revealed one of Fortnite’s biggest competitive pushes on mobile yet. The Fortnite Mobile Series takes place in Blitz Royale, Fortnite’s fast-paced game mode built for quick fights and constant decision making.
Players across North America Central, Europe, North America West, Oceania, Asia, the Middle East, and Brazil are invited to jump in. Since the entire competition is touch-only and solo, this Series is geared towards showing pure mobile skill on the world stage.
With one million US dollars in total prize money spread across Monthly Opens, Qualifiers, Semi-Finals, and the Championship, it’s set to be one of the most accessible yet competitive Fortnite events ever.
Phase 1: Monthly Opens and Qualifiers
Monthly Opens will run from December 2025 right through 2026, beginning with the first Open on 5 December.

Only 16 players in total will reach the Championship floor, making this one of the toughest Fortnite mobile brackets ever.

The final showdown is the in-person Mobile Series Championship, where 200,000 US dollars will be on the line. All 16 finalists secure a portion of the prize pool, while the ultimate winner takes the top cut and the title of the world’s best Fortnite mobile player.
This marks the first official offline Championship for a Fortnite mobile-exclusive format, highlighting Epic’s renewed investment in mobile competition.

Between the Semi-Finals and the Championship, players will also have the chance to enter four Solo Mobile Victory Cash Cups.
These events are open to all eligible mobile players who meet the following:

If you make it to Round 2 of a Victory Cash Cup, every Victory Royale you secure is worth 100 US dollars. Simple, high stakes, and perfect for players wanting to grind rewards while sharpening their skills for future Opens.
