When and How to Watch the Star-studded Tournament

The Celebrity Pro-Am of Fortnite will kick off on June 12^th, 3:30pm Pacific timings on Tuesday (6:30pm Eastern and 11:30pm BST). For all the Nintendo fans out there, take heed that this would clash with the Smash Bros and Splatoon 2 tournaments scheduled to start a little earlier that afternoon. There will always be the Twitch archives for that though; the Celebrity Pro-Am should be your priority.

The where of it all can be easily answered on the Fortnite official website. This official stream however, will probably have a multitude of spectators watching it so don’t be surprised if it lags a lot. If this is the case, alternative streams like Fortnite’s YouTube channel, Facebook page or the Fortnite Mixer pages are the places you need to check out!
