Brawl Cup heads to Berlin in 2026

Esports tournament organiser BLAST has announced it will host the 2026 Brawl Cup in Berlin, Germany.

The announcement comes after BLAST signed a new multi-year partnership with Brawl Stars at the end of 2025. As a result, the Brawl Cup will have its first-ever live event at the Uber Eats Music Hall, from May 15th to May 17th. Ticketing information and pricing will be announced at a later date.

According to a release, the partnership between the esports title and BLAST will see the latter introduce a global calendar of events, as well as expanded live broadcasts and arena shows.

Aside from Berlin, there will be two new locations hosting the live events in the 2026 competitive calendar, although those are yet to be announced.

Earlier last month, Supercell unveiled the esports roadmap for Brawl Stars, featuring a total of six online seasons as well as three in-person events spread across nine months between February and October. The combined prize pool for this year’s season amounts to $2m (~£1.46m).

As part of the partnership, BLAST will also deliver 32 broadcast days for the online seasons and will operate the live events featuring the top teams from the five regional competitions, which include EMEA, South America, North America, Southeast Asia, and China.

This year’s Brawl Stars Championship will be open to all players who can reach the monthly qualifiers through the in-game Championship Challenge event. The best eight teams from each qualifier will advance to the Monthly Finals. At these events, teams compete for prize pools and leaderboard points that will determine qualification to the Brawl Cup, Last-Chance Qualifier, and the World Finals.

Starting this year, Brawl Stars fans will have an elevated experience with the introduction of match predictions, allowing them to earn rewards such as icons, pins, and drops upon guessing the winners correctly.
