ALGS Year 6 pathway

ALGS Year 6 · Last verified 14 Aug 2026

If you're already strong at Apex, the official ladder is ALGS. Lock a trio, then enter an Online Open on Battlefy when registration is open. Ranked does not advance you into ALGS. Challengermode cash is another way to compete.

Before you start

  • ALGS is a trio competition with published roster/sub rules per year.
  • Play the region listed on the Battlefy event (NA, EMEA, APAC, South America, etc.).

Other ways to compete

Not part of the official Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) ladder — parallel open / third-party competition.

Official paths and third-party cash competition are not the same thing. Expand a stage for instructions, eligibility and links.
