Arena of Glory Spring 2026 peak viewers fall 13% to 693K
Peak concurrent viewers for Arena of Glory Spring 2026 fell 13% to 693,130 during the May 10 Grand Final, where Team Flash beat Saigon Phantom 4–2.
Arena of Glory Spring 2026 reached a peak of 693,130 concurrent viewers during the Grand Final on May 10, a 13% decline from the peak levels recorded in the 2025 splits. Team Flash defeated Saigon Phantom 4–2 to win the title.
The Grand Final was the third straight finals meeting between Team Flash and Saigon Phantom. The event ranked as the series’ third-most watched edition, behind the two 2025 splits that each exceeded 800,000 peak viewers.
Organizers reported several factors behind the lower peak. Saigon Phantom’s official channel did not draw the same audience it did in 2025. The tournament calendar also overlapped with other regional esports events, including LCP 2026 Split 2, the Free Fire World Series — Southeast Asia 2026 Spring and VCT 2026: Pacific Stage 1, which divided viewer attention.
Despite the dip in peak concurrent viewers, the split surpassed 26 million hours watched, becoming the third Arena of Glory event to pass that mark after Spring 2025 and Winter 2022.
As season champion, Team Flash qualified for the Honor of Kings World Cup 2026 and earned a spot in the Arena of Valor Premier League 2026. The league’s top four teams advanced to the Premier League, while the fifth and sixth-placed teams moved on to the APL 2026 Wildcard stage.
The league implemented structural changes for its 20th season. Arena of Glory adopted a partnership model and removed promotion and relegation. The organizer selected teams based on set criteria. The new format allowed GAM Esports to join the league and attracted outside investment, including involvement from Team Secret.
Spring 2026 introduced a bounty prize pool that distributes the total purse of $234,210 by final ranking. The Grand Final MVP received just under $2,000, and the top players in individual lanes received about $400 each.
Spring 2026 was the first of the region’s three Arena of Valor professional leagues to use the partnership model. The event’s figures and schedule changes were recorded by the organizer as part of the season report.
