The Super Bowl is this weekend and the march to this Sunday's final NFL game of the season includes many celebrations of the game itself. This extends out to the video game world, where the gaming public and the football fanatics lock hands in anticipation of the upcoming clash between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. For Twitch, this means putting together the Streamer Bowl III, bringing together content creators, NFL players, and Fortnite.
The Twitch Rivals Streamer Bowl III Fortnite tournament will take place on Wednesday, February 9 at 2:30 p.m. PT/5:30 p.m. ET. It will take place exclusively on the Twitch Rivals channel, but you can also check out the embed above, in case you don't want to leave this page.
For the uninitiated, Streamer Bowl III is an elimination-style Fortnite Battle Royale Trios tournament. Games will be conducted with three-person teams, comprised of one Twitch streamer, one professional NFL player, and one Twitch Community Champion. Sessions will be conducted in a private lobby for four rounds. Everyone will be competing for charity, as well as bragging rights.
