ACTIVE EVENTS

Current Brawl Stars event rotation with countdown timers and top brawler picks for each map.

LIVE BRAWL STARS MAP PICKS

The maps page helps you decide which brawlers to play on the current Brawl Stars event rotation. Open maps favor range and burst, closed maps favor throwers and tanks, and objective-heavy modes reward control and team synergy.

Check the active event timers before pushing trophies or ranked games, then compare recommended picks with the tier list and brawler guides.

How to use the map rotation

Brawl Stars rotates its maps on a schedule, and the right pick depends as much on the map as on the mode. This page reads the live event rotation from the official Brawl Stars API and shows each active map with its countdown and the brawlers that score highest in that mode on the tier list.

As a rule of thumb, open maps with long sightlines reward marksmen and long-range damage dealers, closed maps with walls and bushes reward throwers, tanks and assassins, and objective modes such as Gem Grab, Heist and Hot Zone reward control and team synergy over raw kills. Use the recommended picks as a starting point, then check the brawler page for counters before you lock in.

The rotation refreshes every day. If no events are showing, the Brawl Stars API is temporarily unavailable; the tier list and its per-mode filter still work in the meantime.

Each mode rewards something different. Gem Grab needs a safe gem carrier and control of the middle; Brawl Ball rewards wall breaking and close-range stopping power; Knockout has no respawns, so range and survival matter most; Heist is about sustained damage on the safe; Hot Zone needs area control and healing to hold the zone; Bounty rewards range and staying alive to protect your stars. The drafting guide covers what each mode needs in more detail.

NEW MAPS THIS SEASON

The Brawler Blast update (September 2026) added eleven maps to the rotation, most of them made by community map makers. Six of them are in the six competitive modes, so they show up in ranked and trophy matches; the rest are Duels, Hockey and Arena maps.
