Blast has announced the venue for the Rivals S1 2026 tournament, scheduled to take place at Fort Worth, Texas.

The tournament will take place from April 29 to May 4 with a total of eight teams attending. The top four teams in Valve's regional rankings will receive a direct invitation ticket, while the remaining four will be filled by Wildcard teams from Europe, North America, South America and Asia.

The tournament will last for five days, with the last three days held in front of the audience directly at Dickies Arena, where Blast once held Rocket League and Fortnite events.

This will be the third season of the Rivals series organized by Blast. The first season, once moved from Monterrey to Copenhagen due to "unintended logistics difficulties", has been won by Vitality. The two -year 2025 season is expected to be held in Hong Kong.

The tournament will start with the winning -losing branch group stage, leading to the playoff round of six teams, ending with the overall final of the Bo5 formula.
