When and where is BLAST Rivals Spring 2026 happening?

BLAST Rivals Spring 2026 will take place between 29 April and 3 May. The group stage will conclude on 30 April, with the playoffs happening from 1 May. This tournament will be held at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, United States.

Tournament format and structure of BLAST Rivals Spring 2026

29-30 April - Group stage

The 8 teams that qualified for the tournament based on their Valve Regional Standings are split into 2 groups of 4 teams. Matches played in this stage are played to the best of 3 games. A double-elimination format is used, and the top 3 teams from each group proceed to the playoffs.

1-3 May - Playoffs

The group stage winners receive a bye to the semifinals of the playoffs. Meanwhile, the runners-up enter the quarterfinals as the high seeds, and 3rd-place teams play as the low seeds. This stage uses a single-elimination bracket, and matches are played to the best of 3 games. However, the Grand Final is a best of 5 game series to determine the champions.

Map pool

Throughout the BLAST Rivals Spring tournament, teams can pick or veto from the full map pool. This means Ancient, Anubis, Dust II, Inferno, Mirage, Nuke and Overpass will all be available.

  • The map winner market lets you bet on either a twoway or threeway result on a specific map. For example, you could bet on map 1 to end in a draw.

Betting tips for FPS Esports events

You can use our CS2 betting and FPS betting guide to learn how CS2 works and what to expect. We also share expert analysis and opinions on our BLAST picks blog.

  2. Pay attention to the stats - While making your own picks and predictions, we recommend studying the stats. Map win rates are very important to consider, as some teams have strengths and weaknesses relating to strategies on specific maps. In CS2, pistol round win percentage is another key stat, as winning the early round is crucial for winning the map.

  3. Look at recent form and history - Teams that are currently performing well in S-tier tournaments are most likely to go on a deep run and reach the playoffs. Look at which tournaments each team has won recently, and consider whether there have been any major roster changes.
