Platform Cash Cup Chapter 2 Season 2: Schedule, Format, Prize Pool & How-To Watch

If it’s not the most Epic thing ever, to starve us of any competitive Fortnite for nigh on three months, then announce two events on the same day. 

For now, we have the return of the FNCS - more on that here - and a brand new round of Contender Cash Cups & Platform Cash Cups for Chapter 2 Season 2.

If you don’t know, the Contenders and Platform Cups are weekly tournaments held on Wednesdays and Thursdays, respectively.

It gives players the chance to compete against the best in their region for the chance to win cash prizes. The Contender Cash Cup is a cross-platform Duo tournament, while the Platform Cup, is as the name suggests, are platform-specific and is played as Solos.
