Fortnite Pro-Am 2025: Timing, Prizes, All Teams

A major Fortnite competition is happening this weekend, bringing together professional players and popular content creators in one exciting event.

The Fortnite Pro-Am tournament is taking place on Saturday, May 10, at the University of Southern California's Galen Center.

This tournament pairs top Fortnite Championship Series (FNCS) players with well-known content creators for a day of competitive gameplay and entertainment.

When Is the Tournament?

The first match begins at 1:10 PM PT (4:10 PM ET/9:10 PM BST) on Saturday. 

According to the official schedule, players will compete in six Reload Duos matches, each lasting about 30 minutes.

The entire event is expected to run for approximately two and a half hours, though this timing could change if there are any delays.

How Does the Tournament Work?

As Epic Games has structured it, the Pro-Am features 20 teams, each consisting of one professional FNCS player paired with a popular content creator.

Teams will earn points based on their placement in each match and the number of eliminations they achieve.

The competition takes place offline, with all 40 participants playing together in the same venue. 

Fans can watch the action unfold live on the official Fortnite Twitch channel.

Those who tune in for at least 90 minutes will receive a special reward – the FNCS Emblem Spray for their in-game collection.

Who's Competing?

The tournament features an impressive lineup of Fortnite personalities. Content creators participating include familiar names like Ali-A, Lachlan, SypherPK, Nick Eh 30, and Loserfruit.

On the professional side, several former world champions will be competing, including Queasy, Veno, and Khanada, making for what should be an extremely competitive and entertaining event.
