You are going to want to clear your calendar, as the Championship begins at 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT on Thursday, July 7th, with a Group Stage spread over the first two days of competition. Teams will be split into four groups of ten teams, and each group will play a single six-match series against every other group.

On Friday, July 8th, after the Group Stage concludes, every team will be assigned a starting position in the Bracket Stage’s double-elimination bracket based on their Group Stage performance. 

After playing through the double-elimination bracket on Friday and Saturday, the top 20 teams will advance to the Finals.

The Finals will take place at 5:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM PT on Sunday, July 10th, and consist of a single Match Point series to determine the ALGS Year 2 Champion! Viewers tuning in during the Finals will also get an exclusive first look at the new season of Apex Legends Mobile.
