Look, let us be honest, Com2uS has announced on August 7 that prediction events are kicking off ahead of the Summoners War World Arena Championship 2026 (hereafter SWC2026) main tournament season. This cheeky little setup rolls out sequentially alongside regional cup and qualifier schedules, tossing in various in-game rewards for your trouble. The SWC2026 main season gets cracking on September 12, culminating in the World Finals hosted in Seoul on November 14.

These match predictions happen individually, tightly synchronized with each regional cup and qualifier timetable. Starting right off the bat with the China regional qualifiers on September 12, you can sequentially dive into predictions for the Europe Cup (September 26), America Cup (October 11), and Asia-Pacific Cup (October 17) according to their respective offline match schedules. Participation opens roughly six days before each match over at the in-game event page, where you pick advancing players step-by-step from the quarter-finals all the way to the grand finale. Just make sure you lock those choices in, as predictions close exactly 30 minutes before the first whistle blows.

Now, here is a rather nice touch: this year, getting just a single player right among the semi-finalists or World Finals contenders counts as a successful prediction, broadening your chances to bag some solid loot. Merely showing up grants you items like Mystic Scrolls, while nailing those predictions bags you prestigious SWC2026 emblems. Fancy a bonus emblem? Solve daily player-related trivia quizzes. Plus, a separate event running until October 4 hands out SWC2026 scrolls tied directly to your Summoners War playtime.

If you grind through in-game missions like burning energy and stack up points, accumulated milestones reward you with various weekly goodies. Those hard-earned SWC2026 emblems can then be traded in at the 'Toward Victory! SWC2026 Emblem Road Event'—which has been running since the preliminaries—for SWC2026 scrolls, Legendary All-Attribute Scrolls, and other lovely bits.

As for the tour itself, the SWC2026 main stage kicks off with regional qualifiers in Xi'an, China, before heading over to Hamburg, Germany (Europe Cup), Toronto, Canada (America Cup), and Bangkok, Thailand (Asia-Pacific Cup). The 12 elite players surviving this gauntlet will ultimately step onto the ultimate World Finals stage in Seoul, South Korea on November 14. Best of luck, summoners!
