The top 16 players in the world are on the starting line ready to race their way to the title of Spring 2022 Champion.
Today, Ubisoft announced that the 2022 Trackmania Grand League (TMGL) Spring season will kick off on March 6th, 2022. After claiming the title of Fall 2021 Champion last year, Pac and MNM Gaming will be putting their title on the line as the top 16 players around the world gather to compete online every Sunday from March 6th to April 10th, 2022. The Final will take place on April 24th, 2022, and crown the TMGL Spring 2022 Champion.
Building upon last year’s learnings and successes, Ubisoft is kicking off the Trackmania Grand League 2022 season with an improved and even more dynamic competitive format, and a robust and accessible esports circuit for fans and professional players to enjoy. During the regular season, players will compete every Sunday in a 1v1v1v1 format and play 5 matches per playday. Each player will be ranked at the end of each match based on their performance and move on to the next match against equally ranked players from the other matches. After the last playday of the Spring season, the top 8 ranked players will qualify for the Final, while the runners-up will fight for the last remaining spot for the Final during the Final Chance qualifier.
The TMGL will run at the following dates, with each Championship Week starting at 8PM CET:
