This Zero Build and Battle Royale tournament is open to qualified Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch players in all six competitive regions.
The three-day, four-round event kicks off Friday, October 27, and concludes on October 29 with the Grand Finals. Here is everything you need to know about the console-only competition.
Fortnite Console Champions Cup: Format and qualification explained
The Console Champions Cup offers two separate tracks for the console community: one for Battle Royale Duos and another for Zero Build Duos. These two tournaments will coincide, meaning teams can only compete in one.
