The FC Online FVPL Summer 2026 schedule enters the Knock-out stage, where eight teams will compete for four spots to advance after three days of intense matches.
Schedule FC Online at FVPL Summer 2026 is entering the most anticipated phase as the eight teams that advanced from the Swiss Stage prepare to compete in the Knock-out round from August 21 to 23, 2026.
According to the organizer's announcement, the FVPL Summer 2026 Knock-out stage will be held online, featuring the eight teams that qualified from the Swiss Stage. This will be a direct competition to determine the four names that will advance to the Final Stage in September.
The official bracket has set four opening matches:
In particular, TKO will face TAG in M1, while AMT takes on FFB in M2. In the other half, LGC meets STV, and SGLX enters a notable clash with NK.
Teams are not immediately eliminated after a single loss. FVPL Summer 2026 uses a winners' and losers' bracket system, so losing teams still have a chance to recover in the lower bracket. Matches M5 to M10 will be determined based on the results of the first four pairings.
According to the official rules, the Knock-out stage adopts the new KENDO BO5 format. Each player can play a maximum of two games per match, while the first three games require each player to appear only once. All team members must play at least one game in the Knock-out stage.
| Phase | Time | Format |
| Swiss Stage | July 25 - August 16, 2026 | Online |
| Knock-out Stage | August 21 - 23, 2026 | Online |
| Final Stage | September 13, 2026 | Offline (stage competition) |
In the Final Stage, M11, M12, and M13 will continue to use KENDO BO5. However, M14—the grand final deciding the champion of FVPL Summer 2026—will be upgraded to BO7, creating a greater challenge in terms of roster depth and tactical adjustment ability.
With a two-bracket format and increasingly narrow gaps between teams, the three Knock-out days from August 21 to 23 promise to deliver a series of intense matchups before the final four names are determined.
