Another major update is that FNCS will go back from trios to the classic duos format. Additionally, the competitive game mode is being reworked under the name 'Ranked 2.0.'

After the massive success of the Pro-Am 2025 and Global Championship in Europe, both events are confirmed to return next year. The Global Championship will once again be hosted in the EU region.

Also, two new additions are joining the FNCS tournament lineup: FNCS Mid-Season and Reload Elite Series.

As of now, the total prize pool of Fortnite FNCS 2026 has not been revealed. However, both 2024 and 2025 have featured around $8 million in total winnings, so we can expect a similar figure or slightly higher, considering the addition of two new LAN events and the Fortnite Mobile Series.
