BLGS match schedule, dates & times

Keep up to date with the new series.

The BLGS is a five-week series of matches between major ALGS (Apex Legends Global Series) events. 2024 is the first time this series has ever been given a chance to flourish and take center stage between LANs, and now you can clear your schedule so you don’t miss a single match.

The BLGS series was announced during the ALGS Year 4 Split 2 Playoffs. With the ALGS Year 4 Championship taking place in Japan in 2025, there’s a huge gap between the end of the last LAN and the start of the next one. That’s why BLGS is being brought into the spotlight as the series to watch if you want Apex Legends esports action over several weeks while you wait. We’ve never had this much pro Apex Legends gameplay on display, and it feels like a great year to be a fan.

What is the BLGS?

The BLGS is a mid-season series for the ALGS, hosted by NiceWigg and Greek, who run the ALGS B-streams. As we approach the ALGS Year 4 Championship in Japan in 2025, a huge time gap needs to be filled. ALGS Year 3’s final event, the Championships, was in September 2023.

Bringing these LAN events so close together creates a bottleneck. Fans want to attend the best event possible and don’t have the holiday time or money to attend every single one. That’s why they wait for the Championship if they have to pick just one to attend.

Shifting the ALGS Year 4 Championship to 2025 creates a gap that fans want to have filled, and BLGS does just that. You can watch it from home on the ALGS YouTube and Twitch channels and enjoy it just as much as the LQCs that take place leading up to the Championship.

I have been aching for an event like this to come along so that I have something I can tune into at home with my kids. LANs are great, but they’re such massive ordeals that make you feel like you can’t miss a second. BLGS is going to be much more relaxed, with a wider range of teams on the roster, and I can’t wait to see how it goes.
