Story Highlights

  • Top players from the Asia and International leagues compete in the Battlefield of Time mode to secure a finals spot.
  • Six finalists will battle live at Jamsil DN Colosseum for a ₩20M or $13.4k prize pool on April 25, 2026.

Netmarble has announced the 2026 Solo Leveling: ARISE Championships, the second official global tournament for the game. Players are currently competing in online preliminary matches, which started on February 19th, and the tournament will culminate in a live grand final event in Seoul on April 25th.

If you’re looking to get ahead, I’ve put together a bunch of helpful resources! I’ve got info on redeem codes for free stuff, plus guides for beginners, rerolling, understanding elements, and picking the best class. I also made a hunter tier list, guides to artifacts, team building, and how the gacha system works – basically everything to get a good grasp of the game. And if you run into any trouble, I’ve even got a customer support guide. You can also check out my full review if you’re still on the fence about playing!

You must conquer four stages to move ahead as finalists

The path to becoming a champion began with online qualifying rounds featuring highly skilled players. To even compete in the preliminaries, players needed to score at least 1,000 points in Battlefield of Time Season 15. Now, competitors are split into two regional leagues based on their server location.

The qualifiers for the SLC 2026 tournament are now open! This is your chance to compete for a spot in the championship finals. You can now view live rankings for all participating players. Check the details and rankings below! #sololevelingARISE

The competition is divided into two groups: the Asia League and the International League. Players will compete in the Battlefield of Time mode, tackling four difficult stages featuring bosses like Esil Radiru, The Ant King, Gursed Giant Eiberg, and Baruka.

Six finalists will compete for the championship title and a solid prize pool

Okay, so how the final scores are figured out is by adding up your completion time from every stage – seriously, every second matters! After the first round ends on March 12th, only the absolute fastest players will make it through. They’re taking the top 3 from each league, which means just 6 finalists total. It’s going to be super competitive!

As I said earlier, the championship finals will be held in Seoul, South Korea on April 25th. The finalists will compete live at the Jamsil DN Colosseum. I’m a big fan of esports, and I’m excited to see them battle it out for a prize pool of 20 million Korean Won – around $13,400 – plus other rewards.
