The action never stops at South African tournament organizer Mettlestate, which has a new batch of month-long, leaderboard-style tournaments, called Battlegrounds, for local gamers to compete in during February 2026. Let's take a look at the most important details.

By our count, there are five (5) Battlegrounds from Mettlestate to compete in during February 2026. That's two more than the January Battlegrounds, which is nice. These are month-long events, so you can join at any time, but for the best chance at success, we suggest joining earlier rather than later!

You can join all of these, or just some of them. The choice is yours. Check out the game titles below, and follow those registration links to start competing in Mettlestate Battlegrounds today.

• Clash Royale Battlegrounds
• Tekken 8 Battlegrounds
• eFootball Battlegrounds
• Chess Battlegrounds
• EA FC 26 Battlegrounds
