Fortnite’s Duos Reload Ranked Cups begin their November run tonight, Monday, November 2, from 18:00 to 21:00 UTC in EU—19:00 to 22:00 CET in Stockholm. Epic lists separate Battle Royale and Zero Build events, both offering a chance to earn the Bladed Eclipse ’Brella Reloaded glider.

These are duo competitions, unlike the FNCS Solos Reload qualifiers that begin on Tuesday. Bring a partner and select the correct Reload playlist before the session starts.

Two playlists, the same EU window

The Battle Royale listing and the Zero Build listing both allow up to 12 matches in three hours. Each shows Bronze on its schedule. The event pages use the same shortened heading, “Duos Reload Ranked Cup”, so check the full playlist name in the schedule rather than relying on that heading alone.

The two sessions run concurrently. Their 18:00 UTC start is also the start of tonight’s Arenas Test Cup, but that is a different mode and ends an hour earlier.

The glider reward needs an in-game check

Epic names the Bladed Eclipse ’Brella Reloaded as an in-game glider players have a chance to win in any session. It directs competitors to the Compete tab for the detailed prize conditions; the web description does not give a points threshold. Check that tab before queuing rather than assuming participation alone earns the reward.

Both listings require players to be at least 13, or the applicable minimum age in their country of residence, and to have multi-factor authentication enabled. The linked rules library contains further requirements.

Five Mondays in November

After tonight, both EU schedules list November 9, 16, 23 and 30, with each start displayed as 18:00 UTC—19:00 CET. These are the remaining dated opportunities shown for the November series.

For tonight’s entry, select EU, November 2, and either Duos Reload Ranked Cup Battle Royale or Duos Reload Ranked Cup Zero Build. Epic’s web schedule labels the first date “Session 1 — Round 1”; the full mode name is the important distinction between the two listings.
