This year, Epic Games has decided to implement a Call of Duty League-style Majors format, which will feature a $2,000,000 prize pool in each of the Majors 1, 2 and 3, adding up to a total prize pool of $6 million. The FNCS Global Championship 2023 qualifiers will kick off on February 2, 2023. It will consist of three micro-online tournaments named Major 1, Major 2, and Major 3. The top placement duos of each event will have a chance to participate in the LAN finals taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark towards the end of the year.

Players who reach the Elite Division in Fortnite’s Arena Mode will be eligible to participate in the FNCS Major qualifiers. This division can be reached when a player enters the final stage of Division 9, which is the Champion League.

Each Major will have five weeks of competition with a $2 million prize pool each, which participating players will share, resulting in a total prize pool of $6 million split across three Majors. The top qualifying teams will then compete at the in-person FNCS Global Championship 2023 event for a $4 million prize pool, with a similar format to that of the Invitational tournament back in 2022.
