BLAST reveals 2024 schedule
Set to be 2024's first tier-one event, the Spring Groups will kick off the Blast Premier circuit for the year in late January and the Spring Finals in June will conclude the first half of the season. The Spring Finals will take place in London.
The Fall Groups in June will be the first high profile event after the player break. In order to accommodate 2024's second Major, the Fall Final and World Final will happen earlier than usual.
BLAST is also set to make changes to Showdowns in the coming year, making it a single 16-team event in Europe instead of regional classifications. The event will feature the bottom six teams from groups, three invited teams, and seven teams from global qualifiers.
Having hosted six BLAST events, the Royal Arena has become a prominent part of BLAST's circuit but a new venue has been announced for the next BLAST Premier Fall Final. The event will take place at Forum Copenhagen, a multipurpose indoor stadium. The reason for this change has not been revealed by BLAST.

-
Spring Groups: 22nd to 28th January 2024
