It’s finally here. The JGC 2026 Finals for Saint Seiya Awakening: KotZ start tomorrow, and the official broadcast details have just been revealed: the two-day schedule, the YouTube and Facebook channels for each language, the full commentator lineup, and — most importantly — the rewards you can earn simply by tuning in.
The finals are split across two days: Day 1 (September 12) for the Supreme Champion bracket and Day 2 (September 13) for the Tactic Master bracket. If you need a refresher on how we got here, check our JGC 2026 rules and qualified players breakdown and the confirmed list of the 16 finalists.

Rewards for Watching 🎁
You don’t need to be competing to get something out of the JGC 2026 Finals. GTArcade has confirmed two reward tracks for viewers.
🎁 Lucky Draw
Watch the livestream and follow the on-stream instructions for a chance to win War Goddess Sasha and other valuable rewards. The instructions are given live, so keep the chat and the stream open while the casters are talking.
⏰ Timed Rewards
Special rewards will be distributed throughout the livestream — at the beginning, during the broadcast, and toward the end — on both Day 1 and Day 2. That means four separate drop windows across the weekend, so staying tuned for the whole show is genuinely worth it. As in previous years, these usually take the form of codes announced on stream and redeemed through the official GTArcade exchange site, so have your UID ready.
The Brackets — Road to the Grand Final
Both brackets are now public. The graphic below is the official match path for the finals:
Each bracket brings together the Top 4 from Server A and the Top 4 from Server E, for a total of 8 players per mode — the same 16 finalists announced earlier this month. The draw is split into two halves per mode (Bracket A and Bracket B): each half plays two opening matches, their winners meet in that half’s semifinal, and the two semifinal winners then clash in the grand final. Every round after the opening matches is currently shown as TBD, and the slots will fill in as results come in over the weekend.
Supreme Champion — Opening Round (Sept 12)
Bracket A
| Match | Pairing |
|---|---|
| A1 | DanteV vs Al’Jel |
| A2 | Elsixya vs 乂Tђe’BL!ŋҟ |
Bracket B
| Match | Pairing |
|---|---|
| B1 | SuntzuKizawa vs 乂MΔᴢɪɴKΔ |
| B2 | 壱LpGoldMauro vs Fakir |
Tactic Master — Opening Round (Sept 13)
Bracket A
| Match | Pairing |
|---|---|
| A1 | Sr.Arles vs RJN-Chin |
| A2 | TeamLTS vs M4yh3m |
Bracket B
| Match | Pairing |
|---|---|
| B1 | BIGGABOSS vs God-Ares |
| B2 | Mussa vs Mishima |
DanteV is the name to watch on Day 1. As we covered in our finalists article, the reigning champion didn’t qualify directly, but a withdrawal opened the door for him — and he already took down EvilGoku on his way here. He now has a real shot at defending the title.
Final Thoughts
This is it. Two days, two brackets, four languages and a handful of drop windows — and the whole thing is free to watch on YouTube and Facebook. If you only catch one day, watch Day 1 for the Supreme Champion bracket, which is traditionally the higher-level play; but the Timed Rewards alone make both days worth leaving open in a tab.
The JGC 2026 Finals start tomorrow at 11:00 (Server A). See you in the stream — and good luck in the Lucky Draw! 🏆
