When is the next DreamHack Fortnite tournament? Dates, format & more

DreamHack is bringing the heat this summer with a fresh offering of fierce Fortnite action.

Over the last year, DreamHack’s Fortnite events have become a staple on the competitive Fortnite calendar, undoubtedly making them the most prominent third-party organizer in the scene. Their open entry structure allows anyone to take part, and millions of dollars in prizing have already been won.

Earlier in the week, the DreamHack team revealed that they would be taking a break in June while Chapter 2 Season 7 flies into operation. They will now be running tournaments once per season, rather than monthly as they did in 2020.

Season 7 is less than a week away. Here's what you can look forward to for next season:

- Early season tournament
- Arena Hype Reset
- FNCS Dates
- Console Cup Dates
- Weekly Offerings
