## Description

M80 faces Team Evictix in a high-pressure series to open the day, followed by NRG Academy vs Evil Geniuses Academy in a clash between two championship contenders.

Every match is do-or-die. Win and move forward — lose and your season ends here.

Welcome, agents! The 2026 season will arrive with three stages, a Swiss format, and promotion/relegation cycles that will shape the league after Stages 1 and 2. Challengers NA continues to evolve as the primary pathway into the VCT. This year will test consistency, adaptability, and long-term performance as teams battle for regional dominance and their chance to reach VCT AMERICAS PLAYOFFS STAGE 2 .

Just like in 2025, the 2026 season will feature three Stages; Swiss Stage, Top 8 Playoffs, and Promotion/Relegation (after Stages 1 and 2). Every match during the Swiss Stage will be Best-of-three (Bo3), while the Lower Final and Grand Final of each Playoffs will be played as Best-of-five (Bo5).
