Fortnite: FNCS Start Date, Schedule, and Prize Pool

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 is ready to welcome its first FNCS soon!

Epic Games confirmed the news, along with details about the start date, schedule, and prize pool. That means all players will get another sleek round of competitive Fortnite. How cool is that?

From skilled Duos to the opportunity to earn a $3,008,500 prize, we’ve compiled a cool list of everything you need to know.

Fortnite FNCS: Start Date & Schedule Revealed

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 of FNCS will air on February 17, 2022. Epic Games has announced that there will be two Qualifiers, the Semi-Finals, and, of course, The Finals.

The full schedule of FNCS Chapter 3 Season 1 is:

Qualifiers (February 17-18 and 19-20)

Similar to the previous season, there are going to be two Qualifiers in the next FNCS. Also, there will be three rounds in each one, but with a slight difference: it will be in the Duos format!

In every last round, the top eight teams will go straight to the Finals.

Semi-Finals (February 24-27)

The FNCS Chapter 3 Season 1 will welcome three Semi-Final Sessions in three days. So, for each Session, a team will get the chance to grab a Victory Royale or end up being one of the top six most compatible teams during that Session. Finally, they would advance to the Finals!

The Semi-Final Sessions will go like this:

• Session 1 – 5 Matches; 2.5 Hours; 1st – 50th on the Series Points Leaderboard
• Session 2 – 5 Matches; 2.5 Hours; 1st – 61st on the Series Points Leaderboard
• Session 3 – 6 Matches; 3 Hours; 1st – 72nd on the Series Points Leaderboard

Finals (March 5-6)

The FNCS Finals will come with 12 matches split across two days (6 matches/ day).

Players will also come across a Match Point variable, which is really cool. That means a team could end the competition early and get the chance to be crowned. But that only works if they get 500 total points and 3 Victory Royales.

Fortnite FNCS: Prize Pool

The $3 million prize pool will go like this:

• EU – $1.362.500
• NA East – $637.500
• NA West – $239.500
• Brazil – $418.000
• Middle East – $114.000
• Asia – $145.000
• Oceania – $92.000

The EU gets the highest amount of money because it has the most players of all seven regions.
