With European titles on the line, the debut of our brand-new Arena mode, and exciting competitions across the MLS, K League, J League, and more, the month is stacked with action from start to finish.
It’s also the perfect time to get ready for the leagues that keep going through the summer—because on Sorare, football never stops.
And don’t forget—the Club Global Cup is just around the corner. Make sure you’re ready.
Let’s break it down. 👇
🏟 The Arena Test: One Mode to Rule Them All
You’ve seen the teasers— it’s almost time to enter the Arena.
We’re running two exclusive Arena Test Game Weeks:
- GW76: May 2–6

Enter using Essence, compete under special rules, and battle it for the rewards.
You’ll be able to submit your lineups for the first GW starting tomorrow and until Friday 4PM CET.

👑 Crowning the European Champions
The biggest matches of the year are here. With the Semi-Finals and Finals of the top European competitions in May, we’re celebrating with epic tournaments and top prize pools.
Here’s what’s on:
- European Nights Semi-Finals – GW75 & GW77
💰 $20,000 total cash prize*
🃏 4 In-Season cards required
🧠 Classic competitions available
⬆ Up to 3 lineups allowed - Finals for each of the 3 European Competitions – GW 81, GW 83 & GW 84
Each Final gets its own dedicated competition

⚠️ Important update on deadlines:
We’re bringing back flexible deadlines for those European mid-week Game Weeks but only for the European Nights competitions directly tied to European fixtures. Unlike in April, all other competitions taking place during the same Game Week—including All-Star, U23, and others—will follow the standard locking deadline. This takes effect starting GW75 (April 29–May 2).
