BLAST Premier Fort Worth Rivals 2026

This highly anticipated event will bring together the best Counter-Strike teams from around the globe to compete for $1 million USD in prize pool and participation fees. The BLAST Premier Rivals 2026 tournament will be played across five days, starting April 29, with the last three days played in front of a live audience in Dickies Arena, May 1-3, 2026.

The tournament builds on the success of BLAST’s last three blockbuster events held in Texas – following this week’s sold out BLAST.tv Austin Major at the Moody Center and last year’s Fort Worth events – the Fortnite Global Championship and Rocket League World Championship 2024.  Both of last year’s Fort Worth shows drew thousands of fans to Dickies Arena and captivated millions more watching online. These milestone events have helped cement Fort Worth and Texas’ reputation as a hub for world-class esports and gaming experiences.
