Arena of Glory (AOG) Spring 2026: Schedule and Format
The league will be played in three stages, beginning February 28th. Expect exciting and unpredictable matches! Here’s a look at the schedule:
| Tournament Stage | Event Schedule |
|---|---|
| Group Stage 1 | February 28th – April 12th |
| Group Stage 2 | April 20th – 24th |
| Playoffs | April 26th, May 3rd and 10th |
The first group stage will consist of best-of-five matches, with each team playing every other team twice. Teams earn one point for each match they win. The six teams with the most points will move on to the next group stage.
Group Stage 2 will be a single round-robin where each team plays every other team in a best-of-five series. A win earns a team one point, but points from the previous stage won’t carry over. The four teams with the most points will move on to the Playoffs. In case of a tie, the team that performed better in Group Stage 1 will be ranked higher.
The Playoffs are the final part of the competition. They’ll use a double-elimination bracket, meaning each match will be a best-of-seven series. The standard global ban-pick rules will be in effect.

The Arena of Glory is entering its 20th season, a major milestone! This season will be different – all teams will be selected through a partnership program. Plus, this region is the first to try out a new and improved bounty prize system.
