Learn everything you need to know about the official FNCS broadcast and Twitch drops this season!
Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS) Chapter 2 Season 8 is set to get underway this weekend. Trios across the game’s seven competitive server regions will throw their hats into the ring for a portion of $3M USD and the coveted Axe of Champions in-game reward. It’s the most critical point of any Fortnite season, where teams hope to separate themselves from the pack and reach the Season Finals.
Epic Games has officially released the broadcast schedule for FNCS Chapter 2 Season 8, and we have all the information you need to tune in and earn yourself some free in-game rewards known as Twitch drops. Join us as we examine how you can view the action over the next few weeks.
The action begins this weekend, with the first of two qualifiers on October 17. Qualifier two will take place on October 24, followed by the Semi-Finals on October 28 and October 29. The Season 8 Finals conclude that same weekend—on October 30 and October 31, respectively. Epic Games provided a helpful guide, including regional times that you should refer to above.
