Registration for the open qualifiers opened on 1 July 2026 at 11:00 AM. The announcement landed the same day, positioning Connect as a mid-tier LAN pitched at teams outside the established tier-one circuit.

Logitech G Connect Dates, Location, and Prize Pool

The tournament carries a $100,000 prize pool and runs across a single week, concluding on 23 September. All matches through the playoff stage take place at EXPO XXI in Warsaw. Logitech G are hosting the event with Fantasyexpo and GAM3RS_X as partners.

Sebastiaan de Lange, Head of Gaming Europe at Logitech G, framed the event around access for teams below the top tier. “With Logitech G Connect, we’re committed to making the next breakthrough possible for every hardworking team, not just the established names,” de Lange said.

How the 12 Teams Qualify

The field is set at 12 teams. Six of those places are decided through the qualifying stages, split across open and closed qualifiers, while the remaining six slots are allocated directly by the event partners. Registration for the open qualifiers opened on 1 July, with the closed qualifiers and direct invitations rounding out the bracket.

Logitech G Connect Group Stage and Playoff Format

The 12 teams split into two round-robin groups of six, with every group match played as a best-of-one. The top three from each group advance to the playoffs. Group winners go straight through to the semi-finals, while the second and third-placed teams from each group meet in the quarter-finals, second against third, to decide the remaining semi-final spots.

Organisers have not yet released the exact qualifier schedules, the participating team list, or match formats beyond the group stage. The open qualifier registration window is the first fixed date on the calendar ahead of the September arena playoffs.
