StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 runs in Barcelona from 17 to 20 September: eight teams, a $500,000 prize pool and 14 series across four days. There is no group stage — every side drops straight into a double-elimination bracket of best-of-threes, with a BO5 Grand Final at 17:00 CEST on Sunday. Billed as StarSeries Season 20 for the organizer’s 20th anniversary, it is StarLadder’s only Tier-1 LAN of 2026 after the Spring edition was cancelled.
Day one opens at 12:00 CEST on 17 September:
- 12:00 CEST — MOUZ vs NRG
- 14:30 CEST — magic vs Team Vitality
- 17:00 CEST — Aurora vs NAVI
- 19:30 CEST — FURIA vs MIBR
Every official broadcast is free. Here is where to watch it, in which language, and what time it starts where you are.

Watching from a Restricted Region?
Several official feeds lock access by territory, so a stream that plays perfectly in one country can throw an error in another. Regional partner channels and platform-exclusive broadcasts are the usual culprits.
A VPN routes your traffic through a server inside a supported territory, so the platform reads your connection as local and serves the stream. Apps run on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Smart TVs.
- 1. Install a VPN app on the device you plan to watch on.
- 2. Connect to a server in a country carrying the broadcast — Spain for the host feed, Brazil for the Gaules stream.
- 3. Open Twitch, Kick or YouTube and watch the matches as normal.
Our recommended VPN: NordVPN — encrypts your connection and hides your IP across 9,500+ servers in 224 locations. One account covers 10 devices. Current deal: 76% off + 3 extra months, from $3.09/month with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

🌍 Global (English)
The English feed is the main production and it is free everywhere: Twitch (starladder_cs_en), Kick (starladder and starladder1) and YouTube. Co-streaming rules are strict — creators need a premium exemption to run sponsorless watch parties on legacy platforms, which pushes most authorised co-streams onto Kick.
🇺🇸 United States
No deal with ESPN or TBS is confirmed, so the free StarLadder English feed on Twitch, Kick and YouTube is the only route. NRG carry the local interest and open the tournament against MOUZ at 06:00 EDT / 03:00 PDT on 17 September.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Free digital only — nothing confirmed on BBC or Sky Sports. Day one starts at 11:00 BST on the global feed, which leans heavily on British talent: Frankie Ward and James “BanKs” Banks on hosting duties, with casting pairs including Ne0kai and LucyLuce.
🇧🇷 Brazil
Gaules is the official Portuguese-language partner, streaming free on Twitch, Kick and YouTube; SporTV is unconfirmed. Play starts at 07:00 BRT, and both Brazilian sides meet on day one — FURIA vs MIBR closes the schedule at 14:30 BRT.
🇺🇦 Ukraine
Maincast produces the Ukrainian-language broadcast, free on Twitch and YouTube, with no linear option. NAVI face Aurora on Thursday 17 September at 18:00 Kyiv time, and a loss drops them straight into the lower bracket.
🇨🇳 China
Coverage is free and split across DouYu, Huya and Bilibili, bypassing Twitch and Kick entirely; CCTV is unconfirmed. Day one starts at 18:00 CST. No Chinese team qualified, so these platforms report a “Heat Index” rather than concurrent viewers.
🇪🇸 Spain
Spain hosts the LAN, but domestic rights are fragmented: nothing confirmed with Movistar, TV3 or LVP, and no official Spanish-language channel. Local fans use the free English feed on Twitch, Kick and YouTube, or permitted community co-streams. First match 12:00 CEST.
🇫🇷 France
No French-language feed and no linear partner are confirmed, so the global channel starladder_cs_en on Twitch and Kick is the default, alongside authorised co-streamers. Team Vitality’s opener against magic at 14:30 CEST on 17 September is the local headline.
🇩🇪 Germany
No German-language broadcast or television deal is confirmed. Fans watch the free English feeds on Twitch, Kick and YouTube, or authorised co-streamers casting in German. MOUZ open the whole tournament against NRG at 12:00 CEST on 17 September.
🇦🇷 Argentina
No Spanish LATAM channel is confirmed for the main event and no linear rights are in place. Viewers default to the English feed on Twitch, Kick and YouTube, or the Gaules stream in Portuguese, from 07:00 ART. Local sides BESTIA and ShindeN played the South American qualifier but did not reach Barcelona.
🇵🇹 Portugal
There is no European Portuguese production and no linear coverage, so Portuguese viewers fold into the Gaules Brazilian feed on Twitch, Kick and YouTube, or the English broadcast. Day one starts at 11:00 WEST.
🇫🇮 Finland
The LAN was originally earmarked for the Vaasa Sähkö Areena before visa and logistical constraints moved it to Barcelona, and no Finnish commentary or network coverage replaced it. Support for Jimpphat runs through the free English feed on Twitch, Kick and YouTube from 13:00 EEST.
