Where to watch the Fortnite Champion Series unfold

The major locations to catch the Fortnite Champion Series are first and foremost the two most prominent online streaming platforms, Twitch and YouTube. Many Fortnite Champion Series competitors will be streaming themselves throughout the tournament, and will be a great place to catch a specific player’s perspective on the game.

Twitch in particular has a partnership with Fortnite to provide Twitch drops to players who watch through partnered channels.

Of course, in addition to specific streamers, you can also tune in to the official Fortnite channels on Twitch, YouTube, and watch.Fortnite.com to check out the games along with official commentary.
