The 2023 Fortnite Global Championship (FNCS) began in February and has now reached Major 3, one of its last stages. Top Fortnite players around the world are currently competing to secure a spot in the final round, set to take place live in Copenhagen in mid-October. To qualify, they must first succeed in Major 3.
For those interested in watching this phase of the competition, there is an additional perk. Fortnite enthusiasts have the chance to obtain exclusive FNCS Major 3 cosmetics for free. This guide will provide instructions on how to obtain these rewards.
How to Earn FNCS Major 3 Cosmetics
Epic Games is offering fans the opportunity to receive five cosmetic items by tuning in to watch the Major 3 live stream. These items are inspired by the FNCS theme, as well as the Battle Pass skins and popular POIs from Chapter 4 Season 3.
During the first week of Major 3, players will not receive any cosmetics for tuning in. However, all subsequent competition days will reward viewers with items. Fans only need to watch the FNCS broadcast for 15 minutes in order to be eligible for the items. The following are the broadcast days and the corresponding rewards for viewers:
Days | Event | Reward |

How to Watch the FNCS
In the past, players would be rewarded for tuning into the FNCS at Legends Landing, a Creative Fortnite Island, but that's not the case this time around.
To qualify for the FNCS Major 3 cosmetic items, players must watch the official FNCS broadcast on the competitive Fortnite website. It is necessary to log in with their Epic Games account in order for Epic to monitor the duration of their viewing and distribute the rewards upon completion.
