Brawl Stars Brawlidays 2026 brings festive rewards
Brawlidays 2026 is expected to bring festive skins, returning modes, free rewards and new Mythic brawlers to Brawl Stars in December.
Brawl Stars is heading into its annual festive season with Brawlidays 2026, bringing a December event packed with new cosmetics, limited-time activities and free rewards. Supercell has confirmed the seasonal return in its November update, while the full timetable for individual rewards is still to come.
When Brawlidays 2026 starts
Brawlidays 2026 is expected to begin around 3 December, following the end of the Brawl Vice season. That date is still provisional rather than a confirmed launch time: Supercell has confirmed the December return of its Christmas event, but has not yet published a complete day-by-day schedule for every activity.
The timing would fit the game's established monthly-season rhythm. Players should therefore treat 3 December as a useful guide, not a promise that every reward and mode will unlock simultaneously.
New skins and free rewards
The event is set to add a festive collection of skins, including several appearances for Squeak and Draco, alongside Bolt de neige, Starr Nova d'épices, Pam des fêtes Brawl and Jessie lutin livreur. Some are expected to sit in the Brawl Pass, while others will arrive through separate seasonal routes. Supercell has not yet detailed the individual availability dates for the complete set.
A returning Advent calendar is also expected to hand out rewards throughout December. The calendar's full contents, exact claim windows and any participation requirements have not been announced, so players will need to wait for a later official breakdown before planning around specific prizes.
Seasonal modes return
Brawlidays will bring back festive activities beyond the cosmetic rewards. Mon Brawl sapin is described as a Christmas-flavoured version of the tower mode, with a restricted brawler selection and a rule preventing the same brawler from being used twice in one session. Team search is planned for the mode, while the selection is intended to favour brawlers with higher trophy totals.
Ruée sur les cadeaux is also expected to return during the event. Supercell has not supplied a final availability calendar for either activity, so the opening day of Brawlidays should not be treated as confirmation that every mode will be live immediately.
Rey and Ruby arrive with the event
The festive season will also introduce Rey and Ruby, a pair of Mythic brawlers designed to work together. Supercell's official November update confirms their royal-couple synergy: each character can support the other in battle, giving the duo a distinct reason to be used on the same team.
The pair are expected to join the wider Brawlidays rollout, with players able to choose one of them for free. The exact redemption method and timing remain unconfirmed. That makes the offer significant, but not yet something players can claim simply by opening the game today.
Our opinion
Brawlidays 2026 looks like a meaningful seasonal update rather than a single cosmetic drop. The combination of an Advent calendar, returning modes and a choice between two new Mythic brawlers gives the event several reasons to revisit Brawl Stars through December. The important caveat is that much of the calendar is still provisional: Supercell has confirmed the event and the new brawlers, but the precise reward schedule and free-unlock conditions are not fully published yet. Treat the early December date as a window, and wait for the official timetable before assuming a particular skin, mode or brawler choice will be available on day one.
