TFT Tactician’s Crown November 2026 runs from November 13 to 15, bringing 40 of the world’s best Teamfight Tactics players together for the Enchanted Wilds championship. The total prize pool is $470,000, with $150,000 going to the winner.
The Regional Finals finish on November 1 after two weekends of matches in the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific. China has its own qualifying route, while other players earn places through the Pro Circuit. Here’s when the championship takes place, how its 40-player field is built and where to follow the action.
TFT Tactician’s Crown November 2026 dates and championship schedule
Riot has confirmed three days of competition, with the field reduced from 40 players on Friday to eight finalists on Sunday. The daily broadcast start times are not specified in the official Regional Finals announcement, so the event dates should not be mistaken for a confirmed stream schedule.
| Date | World championship stage | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Friday, Nov 13 | Day 1 | 40 players in five lobbies, 32 advance |
| Saturday, Nov 14 | Day 2 | 32 players narrow to eight finalists |
| Sunday, Nov 15 | Grand Final | Checkmate-format world championship |
The TFT Tactician’s Crown November 2026 is an individual world championship. That’s different from Tactician’s Superbrawl on November 6 to 8, where players compete in four-person teams.
How players qualify for TFT Tactician’s Crown November 2026
The Regional Finals span October 23 to 25 and October 30 to November 1. There are 64 players each in AMER, EMEA and APAC, giving 192 competitors across those three events. These finals award places at Crown and spots on the next set’s Pro Circuit.
| Qualifying region | Tactician’s Crown places from regional route |
|---|---|
| APAC | 7 |
| AMER | 5 |
| EMEA | 5 |
| China (CN) | 8 through separate local competition |
Those regional routes account for 25 of the 40 places. Other qualifiers come through the season’s Pro Circuit, including cup winners and leading Pro Points earners. The 192 competitors at Regional Finals are not all heading to the Crown.
Each Regional Finals tournament also has a $50,000 prize pool. That money belongs to those qualifying events, not the November Crown prize pool. The full championship lineup is settled after the final qualification results.
World Championship format: 40 players to eight finalists
Friday starts with 40 players in five eight-player lobbies. They play six games, with lobbies reseeded after every two based on the standings. The top 32 move into Saturday, taking their accumulated points with them.
Saturday has four elimination stages. The 32 players first complete two games, after which 24 remain. Another two games reduce that to 16, then a further two-game round sends the top four players on cumulative points straight to Sunday’s final. Players ranked fifth through twelfth contest one last game for the remaining four spots.
On Sunday, the eight remaining players compete under the Checkmate format. They must reach 20 points and then win a game to claim the title. Simply being first to 20 doesn’t end the tournament.
What is the TFT Tactician’s Crown November 2026 prize pool?
The $470,000 figure is the total prize pool for the Crown, not the winner’s personal payout. Riot lists $150,000 for the champion. The remaining prize money is distributed through the rest of the championship standings.
The $50,000 on offer at each Regional Finals is separate. A regional prize and a Crown prize should not be combined and presented as a single player’s guaranteed winnings.
How to watch TFT Tactician’s Crown November 2026
For the Regional Finals, Riot lists twitch.tv/teamfighttactics and youtube.com/@playtft as official streams for the Americas and EMEA. They’re the natural places to look for the Crown broadcast announcement, but the exact championship show times and viewing arrangements should be checked when Riot publishes them.
The APAC Regional Finals use additional official regional channels, including @DTCLVN on YouTube, TFT on Sooplive in Korea and teamfighttactics_tw on Twitch. Those options are confirmed for the regional events; the Crown’s final channel and co-streamer list may differ.
A Twitch Drops or watch-rewards campaign has not been confirmed in the cited Crown guidance. Check Riot’s event announcement before expecting a reward for watching.
Is Tactician’s Crown the same as November’s Superbrawl?
No. TFT Tactician’s Superbrawl November 2026 runs November 6 to 8 and uses teams of four in one eight-player lobby. Its top two teams earn opportunities in Set 19 Tactician’s Trials 1, not automatic places at the Enchanted Wilds Crown.
Crown is the end-of-set individual world championship on November 13 to 15. It brings together 40 qualified players and concludes with a Checkmate-format final to decide one world champion.
What to follow before TFT Tactician’s Crown November 2026 starts
