Battlefield 6 Announces REDSEC Elite Series, a New Competitive Showcase Featuring a $1 Million Prize Pool
The REDSEC battle royale mode from Battlefield 6 will host its first official esports competition — the REDSEC Elite Series — launching on December 10 with a total prize pool of $1 million.
The competition will have two divisions: the Elite Series, designed for top competitive teams, and the Open Series, open to players of all skill levels. Both tournaments will support cross-platform and cross-input play, allowing participants to use either controllers or keyboard and mouse on console or PC.
Battlefield REDSEC Elite Series Announces $1 Million Prize
The Elite Series will feature 50 captains per region, each leading a squad of four players, for a total of 600 competitors across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions. Teams will compete in six matches of REDSEC Battle Royale per stage.
This process will repeat across three qualifying days, with teams earning Elite Series Points. The top 25 teams from each region will advance to the regional finals.
All matches will be held online and streamed by the players themselves, while the official Battlefield studios will broadcast the finals. The prize distribution is as follows:
- Americas: $50,000 per qualifying day + $500,000 for the Finals Gauntlet
- APAC and EMEA: $20,000 per qualifying day + $285,000 for the Finals Gauntlet
Elite Series Season 1 Schedule:
- Match Day #1 – Wednesday, December 10, 2025
- Match Day #2 – Thursday, December 11, 2025

At the same time, the Open Series will expand competitive access. Players can register their squads on Repeat.gg and access match codes directly through the app on game day. Rankings will be determined by the total of each team’s 10 best Battle Royale and 10 best Gauntlet matches across the three match days.
The top 250 teams from each region will qualify for the season finals, and the top eight will automatically move up to the next Elite Series edition. The Open Series will feature a total prize pool of $30,000, equally divided between the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions.
