Fortnite x NBA Community Battles: start dates, how to participate, free rewards, & more

Although some data miners have suggested that Fortnite x NBA Community Battles will kick off on May 12, Epic Games has yet to release the same for players. This deprives players of the opportunity to support their favorite basketball team at Fortnite.

According to renowned Fortnite data miner iFireMonkey, the Fortnite x NBA Community Battles event is scheduled to start on May 12 and run until May 16. An additional leak also suggests that the event's three exclusive cosmetics should be available for players to claim by completing daily tasks during the event.

However, it's May 14th now, and Epic Games hasn't announced the details of the Fortnite x NBA Community Battles event. Once they do, players will be able to register for the tournament on the official Fortnite website and support one of the thirty available NBA teams.

Here's everything there is to know about the upcoming Fortnite x NBA Community Battles event.

It was revealed that the Fortnite x NBA Community Battles event would allow players to vote for one of their favorite NBA teams. However, the number of fans that can support a particular team is limited, meaning only a certain number of players can register as supporters for the team with the most fan following in the NBA.

Players can register as fans for their team even after all the slots have been filled for their respective teams. However, they will not be awarded any prizes that the winning team members will receive at the end of the tournament.

Players who register as fans of a particular team after the designated slots have been filled will still be able to get three exclusive cosmetics by participating in the event. The list of cosmetics available as prizes for the Fortnite x NBA Community Battles event is:

• The Hookshot Toy;
• The NBA Championship back bling; and
• An exclusive basketball-themed emote.
