A brand-new season of competitive Fortnite is almost upon as Epic Games has unveiled details regarding the FNCS Chapter 2 Season 4, which will begin next 9th October.

Before the actual tournaments start, however, players that want to try out their prowess against others of similar skill without the tension of regular competition can take part in the FNCS Warmup.

Here's everything you need to know, including schedule, format, prize pool, and how to watch.

Fortnite FNCS Warmup How to Watch

Again, due to the "Warmup" nature of the event, simply serving as practice for those interested, there will be no stream. 

That doesn't mean you can't follow the action as many players will be streaming their POV. We have added a few of our favourite players - from the biggest regions - so you can drop in and enjoy some chaotic endgames.
