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.
