Apex Legends is stepping up as a competitive battle royale with next year’s Apex Legends Global Series. The PC-exclusive tournament circuit will feature 12 live global events available across more than 60 countries.
The Global Series is divided into five event categories: Online, Challenger, Premier, Major, and Championship.

The grander side of the Global Series will be the four Majors. As EA’s flagship events, these tournament stops will feature 300 teams that will fight for a prize pool of US$500,000.
The last Major will be the Apex Legends Global Series Championship. This tournament will only invite the 60 best teams and have them compete for a bigger prize pool of US$1 million.
