The organizers of BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2 have revealed the schedule for the opening day of the tournament in Hong Kong. All eight participants will begin their campaigns on November 11, with several matchups between some of the world’s top teams already scheduled for the first round.
Day 1 Schedule
Legacy and FURIA will open the tournament, with their Group A match starting at 10:00 Hong Kong time. Vitality and Falcons will follow at 12:30, meaning one of the group’s strongest teams is guaranteed to drop into the lower bracket after the very first round.
In Group B, Spirit and FUT will take the stage first, with their match scheduled for 15:00. The opening day will conclude with the series between MOUZ and G2, starting at 17:30.
Group A
Group A consists of Legacy, FURIA, Vitality, and Falcons. Both opening matchups look competitive, but the Vitality vs Falcons clash attracts the most attention, as two rosters capable of competing for the title will face each other at the very beginning of the tournament.
The winners of the opening matches will meet in the group’s upper bracket final, while the losing teams will continue their campaigns through the lower bracket. All group stage series will be played in a Bo3 format.
Group B
The second group features Spirit, FUT, MOUZ, and G2. Spirit will begin the tournament against FUT, while MOUZ have been drawn against G2, meaning the opening round could significantly influence the favorites’ paths through the competition.
The double elimination format gives teams room for one mistake, but winning in the upper bracket makes the road to the playoffs considerably easier. This is particularly important for teams looking to avoid an additional elimination series.
Eight teams and $1 million
BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2 will take place from November 11 to 15 in Hong Kong. Spirit, Vitality, FURIA, MOUZ, Falcons, Legacy, G2, and FUT will compete in the tournament, which features a total prize pool of $1 million.
After the group stage, the best teams will advance to the single elimination playoffs. Matches in the decisive stage will be played as Bo3, while the BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2 champion will be determined in a Bo5 Grand Final.
