Want a million dollars? Just be the best at Battlefield. Announced today, Battlefield REDSEC is getting a competition, open to a bunch of regions with 600 soldiers taking part. It'll be interesting to see how this initial push into the esports realm goes, so take a look below at the intel to know more.

November 20, 2025 - Today, Battlefield Studios announced the Battlefield REDSEC Elite Series, the pinnacle of Battlefield competition, showcasing the absolute best competitive Battlefield has to offer on the global stage. Launching on December 10, the Elite Series is designed to introduce more competitive play to the franchise while also giving the community a new way to rise through the ranks. The initial competition, which features a $1 million prize pool across three regional finals, will be held amongst 600 total competitors representing not only the best Battlefield players in the community, but also the top FPS talent in the world.  

Each region’s 50 squads will compete in a unique competitive format: A series of six REDSEC Battle Royale matches, culminating in the top eight squads fighting head-to-head in a final showdown in the cutthroat, knockout-style elimination mode known as Gauntlet. This format is repeated over three Match Days, with squads earning Elite Series Points for their performance. 

Twitch Drops will also be enabled on each match day, allowing viewers of the official EA stream or individual competitor streams to earn rewards. 

“With Battlefield REDSEC, our teams at Battlefield Studios have delivered a Battle Royale experience infused with Battlefield DNA that was developed alongside our passionate community,” said Christian Grass, Executive Producer of Battlefield. “Battlefield REDSEC’s Gauntlet mode, which is my personal favorite, offers a unique tournament-style structure that makes it the perfect fit for this kind of competition.”

Alongside the Elite Series, the team is also proud to announce the Open Series as the official REDSEC community competition, which begins on Friday, December 12. The Open Series gives players of all skill levels the opportunity to compete. With the right amount of practice and dedication in the Open Series, a squad can advance to the Elite Series to battle with the best in the world. Squads can enter the Open Series by signing up via Repeat.gg.

All competitions will take place in a cross-platform and cross-input environment in both the REDSEC Elite and Open Series.
