Which stadium hosted the 2019 Fortnite World Cup?

The 2019 Fortnite World Cup was hosted at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City. The event took place from July 26 to July 28, 2019, turning the famous tennis venue into the stage for Fortnite’s biggest competitive tournament.

Arthur Ashe Stadium is the main court of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, Queens. Its large seating capacity made it suitable for a major esports final, and Epic Games reported that tickets for the venue sold out.

The World Cup included separate solo and duo competitions, with each final consisting of six matches. Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf won the solo competition, becoming the tournament’s most recognizable champion. Epic offered a total prize pool of $30 million across the 2019 finals and related events.

The stadium is sometimes confused with Madison Square Garden or Barclays Center because all three are prominent New York venues. Neither hosted the Fortnite World Cup finals; Arthur Ashe Stadium was the specific location.
