The ALGS Championship arrives as Apex Legends continues to gain
momentum and reach more fans than ever. Earlier this month, the
ALGS Split 2 Playoffs in Stockholm, Sweden, broke all-time
viewership records across all previous EA Esports events. The ALGS
Split 2 Playoffs Final on May 1 saw an average minute audience
(AMA) of over 539,000 across watch parties and official ALGS
broadcast channels. Viewers consumed more than 10.3 million hours
of live content during the three-day tournament. The Apex Legends
brand also recently celebrated major milestones, including the
highly anticipated launch of Apex Legends Mobile and release of
Saviors Season 13 on console and PC.
“Bringing ALGS to the PNC Arena is a major milestone for the
Apex brand and indicative of the title’s continued growth in the
competitive scene,” said John Nelson, Sr. Director and
Commissioner, Apex Legends Esports at EA. “The ALGS Championship is
a true celebration of fandom, and we’re looking forward to
delivering the first-ever live ALGS Championship experience for our

PNC Arena will host 40 of the world’s top Apex Legends squads
across five regions as they compete for their share of the USD $2
million prize pool and the coveted ALGS Championship title. For the
first time, the ALGS community will be able to come together to
cheer on their favorite teams live at the PNC Arena, in Raleigh,
NC. The 700,000-square-foot space will accommodate thousands of
