Fortnite World Cup Prize Pool: How Much Will the Winner Take Home?

The Fortnite World Cup 2025 boasts an impressive $2,001,000 prize pool, split among the 33 trios competing in Lyon. The world champions will take home the largest share — a massive $450,000 payday.

Prizes are awarded based on the final standings after 12 matches played over two days. The second-place trio will earn $300,000, third place $225,000, and the amounts decrease down to $36,000 for 10th place. Teams finishing between 11th and 33rd will also be rewarded with descending payouts, ranging from $33,000 to $9,000, ensuring every qualified team is recognized for their achievement.

This $2M+ prize pool cements the World Cup as one of Fortnite’s premier esports events, matching the scale and prestige of past editions. On top of the money, the winners will also receive the brand-new “Blade of Champions” trophy, a symbol of excellence that replaces the iconic Axe of Champions and crowns the world’s best.

Beyond the cash rewards, this World Cup is a chance for every trio to etch their names into Fortnite history. Every elimination, placement, and point will matter as teams fight for the ultimate title and a place in the esports hall of fame.
