Hot Toys joins as an Official Sponsor of the Fortnite Global Championship 2026
Hot Toys, a leading creator of high-end licensed collectibles, has come onboard as the Official Sponsor of the Fortnite Global Championship 2026, taking place at the Lotto Arena in Antwerp, Belgium, on 26-27 September.
The event marks a brand new location for the Fortnite competitive circuit, bringing one of competitive gaming’s biggest global spectacles to Antwerp for the first time. Thousands of Fortnite fans will be able to witness the defining moment of the 2026 FNCS season live as the world’s best Fortnite players battle it out at the biggest competitive Fortnite event of the year for a share of the $2 million prize pool.
The partnership brings together Hot Toys’ expertise in creating high-quality collectibles with Fortnite’s globally recognised characters and community. Through its presence at the Fortnite Global Championship, Hot Toys will give fans new ways to connect with the game and bring the Fortnite experience beyond the screen.
This collaboration will see Hot Toys integrated into the Fortnite Global Championship experience through a series of broadcast, digital and in-arena activations. Fans can expect a dedicated “Legendary Drop” social content series showcasing Hot Toys products, alongside a branded arena stand and opportunities to purchase selected collectibles through the official FNCS online and event stores.
Hot Toys will also feature throughout the event broadcast, including a daily branded highlight celebrating one of the standout plays from the competition, paired with a featured collectible. Further integrations will span Fortnite Competitive’s official digital channels, the Twitch broadcast and branding throughout the arena.
James Brown, Commercial Director at BLAST said:
“Hot Toys has built an incredible reputation for creating high-quality collectibles that bring some of the world’s biggest entertainment franchises to life.”
“We’re excited to welcome them as an Official Sponsor of the Fortnite Global Championship and give fans new ways to engage with the partnership, both in Antwerp and through the global broadcast. From the Legendary Drop content series to the dedicated arena stand, Hot Toys will be a brilliant addition to the fan experience this September.”
Franck Dubois, CEO of Hot Toys Japan said:
“I actually play Fortnite daily for real; and even attended the FNCS Lyon Finals last year! As a long-time fan, it is an honor for Hot Toys to officially support FNCS.
“The community was craving higher-end merchandise, and Hot Toys is here to deliver. I hope that fans worldwide will recognize the love we put into these items. With their support, these will be the first of many Hot Toys Fortnite products for years to come.”
