• Spring Season: March and April
• Summer Season: May and June
• Fall Season: August and September
• Winter Season: December 2026 and January 2027

The winner of the Spring Season will qualify for the EWC while the top teams from the Fall Season will qualify for the FFWS Global Finals 2026. The top teams from Winter will head to the FFWS USA Spring 2027. 

To get US esports fans heated up for Free Fire, Garena will also have community activations and tournaments.
