109,647 teams participated in the Madison Beer Icon Cup EU – a massive turnout for Fortnite's competitive format

When the Madison Beer Icon Cup EU session took place on 24 September 2026, 109,647 teams ended up participating in the European session – a number that underscores the pulling power of Fortnite's Icon Cup format as a competitive platform.

The figure comes from a leaderboard snapshot updated the same evening and provides a concrete picture of how many players flooded into the queue when the cup got underway. The format was Reload Duos on PC and mobile, and the session ran over a period of 2.5 hours. The points system rewarded aggression and results: a Victory Royale awarded 10 points, a top 2–5 placement awarded 5, top 6–15 awarded 3, and each elimination contributed 2 points.

With nearly 110,000 teams in a single regional session, the Icon Cup format demonstrates its ability to mobilise a broad competitive audience – not just hardcore players, but also fans drawn in by the chance to win cosmetic rewards tied to a specific artist. In this case, the prize was apparently the Satin Angel Madison outfit and its accompanying Back Bling, although Epic Games did not confirm all details ahead of the cup.

At the top of the leaderboard, johan 8ǃ and Capplyx Ascend eSports finished in first place with 623 points across 10 matches and five victories, while rexivski 1ǃ and rexivski 2ǃ followed closely behind with 615 points in second place.

The Madison Beer collaboration with Fortnite was confirmed by Epic Games on 23 September 2026 and includes two skins as well as a range of cosmetic items. The cup took place on the same day as the collection's launch in the Item Shop. Fortnite Tracker does not confirm any additional EU sessions, so players who have not yet secured the rewards should keep an eye on the official Compete tab.
