Brawl Stars Challengers: Everything you need to know

This event is designed to help local teams compete on the world stage. That’s why teams from 12 different regions will be participating. You can find a list of those regions later in this article.

Each region will have its own way to qualify, including specific tournament formats and rules. Players age 16 and older can participate. For this new Brawl Stars Challengers competition, at least two out of every three team members must be residents of the region they are competing in.

You can participate in both Challengers and the Brawl Stars Championship (BSC) throughout the season, as there’s no limit to how many events you can enter. However, by August 1st, 2026, you’ll need to decide whether to continue competing in the BSC or focus on the Challengers Finals – you can’t do both at that point.

An overview of the schedule is as follows:

EVENT DATE
Regional competitions March to August 1, 2026
Brawl Stars Challengers Final September 5 to 6, 2026
