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)

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

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.
