StarLadder StarSeries: Fall 2026

About the tournament

StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 is an international Counter-Strike 2 event in the StarSeries circuit, staged as an 8-team LAN playoff bracket in Barcelona. The tournament runs from September 17 to September 20, 2026, with most matches played as BO3 and the grand final in BO5. It brings together teams fighting for the title and a share of the $500,000 prize pool, making it one of the more significant non-Major stops on the CS2 calendar. With no group stage, the competition goes straight into playoffs, so every series matters from the opening round onward. That makes the event compact, high-stakes, and easy to follow for viewers who want a concentrated snapshot of top-level CS2 competition.
