The Arena Kings Season 7runs from May 12 through August 4. Streamers will clash in a series of 3|0 blitz arenas to fight for their piece of a $40,000 prize fund and the Arena King title.

Arenas start every Wednesday at 10 a.m. Pacific Time/19:00 CEST. The top 16 streamers from each arena will be invited to join a subsequent knockout event with even more prizes. Like in previous editions of the event, Chess960 fans will be able to enjoy arenas dedicated exclusively to this variant.

The Arena Kings event is open to all Chess.com users, with Twitch Affiliates who stream during the events being eligible for winning the prizes. It's not necessary, however, to be a member of the Chess.com Streamer's Program to be eligible to win.
