Rotation refresh: 13 slots captured from the official API at 09:25 UTC.
A snapshot, not a live feed. Each row carries the API’s own start and end; it does not move when you reopen the page.
The official Brawl Stars API returned 13 event slots at 09:25 UTC on 26 October 2026. 12 slots have a real map name and 6 have counted pick rows. Slot 1's map is unnamed — the API returns the placeholder Match 1123581321. The API gives no future schedule, rewards, player counts or map art, and we have no win rates for these slots — those rows say “Being measured” instead of printing a figure.

Our reading of Brawl Ball · editorial, no numbers
Two goals win it: keep the ball moving forward and always leave one player behind the push.
Left lane: Mortis — dive: wait for the cooldown, then take the back line · Mid: Colt — skirmish: trade hits and finish the low target · Right lane: Brock — long lane: keep the sightline and poke
Comeback: One clean push is enough: hold the ball, wait for the rebound and shoot from close range.

Evidencecounted, not estimated
Window 16 Sep 2026 – 16 Oct 2026. Preview sample: top-ranked players only.
Explain simply
The API said slot 4 is Heist on Hot Potato. It ends at 18:00 UTC. The names below were seen in the most counted brawler-games; that is not a win rate.
Nothing on this page says what comes next. The API returns the current rotation only, and we do not invent a schedule.
Counted ordernot a tier list
Heist · Hot Potato · 59,968 decided games. A tier needs a win rate; this list has none, so it is ordered by how often a pick was counted — never called best.
Team shape and overlapBeing measured
Team shape fit
Being measured
A shape percentage needs role labels per trio and a sample above the floor. We do not have the count, so we do not print one.
Rotation overlap
Being measured
Two observations per slot cannot tell you how often your mode returns. The page shows the observed rows instead of a promise.
Our lane jobs — editorial, not a measured shape
Colt — skirmish: trade hits and finish the low target
Rico — skirmish: trade hits and finish the low target
Colette — skirmish: trade hits and finish the low target

Not live: the rotation moves after capture. https://gamgem.com/brawl-stars/events
59,968 counted brawler-games in this card. The capture time travels with it so a shared card cannot be mistaken for a live schedule.
Changes we watchednot a live feed
Per-slot meta movement is Being measured: a change needs a win-rate series for the same slot before and after a rotation, and we do not have one.
Source disagreementBeing measured
Being measured
The rotation comes from one place — the official API. A disagreement badge would need a second independent schedule, and we do not have one. Naming a competitor’s numbers here would be a figure without a source we control.
Watchdogwhat this capture can and cannot say
If a row above says “not returned”, it is absent from the official API, not withheld by us. The page never fills the gap with a number.
Method and sources
Slots
One GET https://api.brawlstars.com/v1/events/rotation, stored with the fetch time. Slot id, start, end, mode id and map are the API’s fields; nothing is shifted to “now”.
Picks
Decided brawler-games counted from 678,168 team matches in top-ranked battlelogs. A pick’s number is wins plus losses on both sides, in both queues — not a win rate.
Sample
49,601 players’ battlelogs, 2026-09-16 to 2026-10-16. Preview sample: top-ranked players only, not every player.
Map history
All-time appearances counted by the match cache, not a slot archive: 61,864 battles across the 13 live event ids.
Duration
Average match length comes from the counted sample and is printed only where the sample has matches with a recorded duration.
Editorial
The map read, lane jobs, first-20-second plan and comeback line are our reading of the mode. They are editorial and carry no number.
Not claimed
No “LIVE” claim: the page prints when the snapshot was taken. No future slot, map or time is predicted.
Community notesnot enabled
No note has been submitted for this snapshot, and we do not seed one. Opinion would never be part of a counted pick row anyway.
Ask about the rotation
What events are live in Brawl Stars right now?
- This snapshot has 13 slots, captured at 09:25 UTC on 26 October 2026. The rotation changes after capture, so use the end time on each row — or reopen the page after the next capture — rather than treating the page as a live feed.
Why do only some slots have brawler picks?
- 6 of 13 slots have counted pick rows. The other 7 show the mode, map and end time, but no ranking: we will not fill the gap with a guess.
What is “Match 1123581321”?
- That is the map name the official API returned for slot 1. It is a placeholder, not a map we can name, so it is printed verbatim and marked as unnamed. We do not translate or substitute it.
Are these win rates or tier rankings?
- No. The pick rows are ordered by how many brawler-games each brawler was counted in. A high count means the pick was seen often, not that it wins more. Win rates are being measured under gate G-M.
Can I see the next rotation or the next map?
- Not from this API. It returns the current rotation, with no future schedule. The archive on this page is what we observed earlier — two snapshots per slot — and is not a prediction.
How often does the event rotation change?
- Our two observations per slot are not enough to promise a cadence, so the page does not. Each row prints the API’s own start and end time; those are the only times we can defend.
What does the team-shape panel show?
- Nothing numeric yet. A team-shape percentage needs role labels and a counted sample that passes the floor, and neither is available for these slots; the panel says “Being measured” rather than inventing a shape.
Where does the data come from?
- The official Brawl Stars API for the rotation and mode names; counted top-ranked battlelogs for the pick rows, sample sizes and match duration; the anonymous match cache for all-time map history. Every source is listed under “Method and sources”.
