UMG and MLB Players Association Collaborate to Organize Fortnite Competitions for MLB Professionals

MLB Players to Compete in Official Fortnite Esports Series

This year, MLB players have been known for their Fortnite-inspired celebrations on the field. And now, they have something else to celebrate about.

UMG has partnered with the Major League Baseball Players Association to host the first official series of Fortnite competitions for both current and retired MLB players.

Fortnite Challenge for MLB Players

Starting on October 1, the MLBPA Fortnite Challenge will begin with online matches. These matches will be streamed on UMG’s Twitch channel. The challenge will culminate in a live championship event held in Las Vegas in December.

Sixteen teams of MLB players will compete in the championship for bragging rights and cash prizes. This could also open the door for future competitions between professional athletes from different sports.
