The 2024 FNCS Global Championship was a Fortnite Battle Royale tournament held in Fort Worth, Texas, on September 7–8, 2024, played in duos. The tournament was the second FNCS Global Championship and the culmination of the 2024 Fortnite Championship Series, the premier Fortnite Battle Royale competitive circuit. It was held at the Dickies Arena and featured a $2,000,000 prize pool. Its winners, Peter 'Peterbot' Kata and Miguel 'Pollo' Moreno were crowned Fortnite World Champions.
Overview Eventual winning duo Peter 'Peterbot' Kata and Miguel 'Pollo' Moreno formed ahead of the FNCS Major 1 2024 and finished runners up behind Abdullah 'Acorn' Akhras and Joshua 'Cold' Butler in that tournament, before winning Major 2 with a record-breaking 1,092 points, and then winning Major 3. The duo achieved a 147 point lead above second-placed Aleksa 'Queasy' Cvetkovic and Thomas 'Th0masHD' Høxbro Davidsen at the end of day one, but let that cushion shrink to 37 points ahead of the twelfth and final game; Cvetkovic and Høxbro Davidsen were the only duo with a chance to overtake Kata and Moreno at that point, but were eliminated in 29th place while Kata and Moreno obtained their fifth Victory Royale, winning the tournament with 985 points to Cvetkovic and Høxbro Davidsen's 776.

Team changes Vanyak3kk and Night could not obtain visas for the event and were thus replaced by Japko and Kwanti, respectively. Turtle could not attend the event and was replaced by Krisp. Pixo was disqualified and Milo could not attend; their spot was awarded to North American duo Rise & Ajerss. Initially, underage Canadian player Eomzo was supposed to play with Wqzzi, replacing Arrow – who also could not obtain a visa – but was himself forced to leave the event due to erroneously filling out his legal paperwork, as well as his legal chaperone, streamer Faxuty, being kicked from the event. Wqzzi was also disqualified after, according to himself, having been deemed "suspicious" by hotel staff. Arrow & Wqzzi were finally replaced by North American duo Braydz & Visxals.
Format Teams were awarded points for eliminating opponents and outliving them, with 1.5 times more points being awarded on day 2, except for Victory Royales, which gave 65 and 100 points on days 1 and 2 respectively. Each eliminations was as such worth 4 points on day 1 and 6 points on day 2. +Day 1PlacementPoints1st652nd563rd524th485th446th407th388th369th3410th3211th3012th2813th2614th2415th2216th2017th1818th1619th1420th1221st1022nd823rd624th425th226th–50th0 +Day 2PlacementPoints1st1002nd843rd784th725th666th607th578th549th5110th4811th4512th4213th3914th3615th3316th3017th2718th2419th2120th1821st1522nd1223rd924th625th326th–50th0 Source: Epic Games
