Singapore is set to host a major international esports tournament in March 2027, as tournament organiser BLAST confirmed that the BLAST Premier Open will take place from 15 to 28 March.
The upcoming BLAST Premier Open Singapore 2027 will be the first arena Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) event of the year for BLAST. It will feature some of the top teams in the world and is expected to attract both local fans and international visitors.
The total prize pool for the event is $1.25 million USD. In addition to this, there is a separate $400,000 participation fee pool. If this fee is divided equally, each team would receive around $25,000 just for taking part. As of writing, there is no confirmed venue, ticket information, or list of participating teams.
James Woollard, VP of Destinations and Market Development at BLAST, said, “Singapore has already played host to two hugely important BLAST events and each one has shown why the city is such a natural home for top competitive entertainment and esports. From the incredible atmosphere at the BLAST Premier World Final in 2024 to the success of Dota Slam Singapore in 2025, the passion of the fans, the strength of the local ecosystem and the support of the Singapore Tourism Board have made this partnership incredibly special.
Lilian Chee, Director of Sports at Singapore Tourism Board, said, “BLAST has been a valued partner in establishing Singapore as the premier destination for global esports and live entertainment. The success of the BLAST Premier World Final in 2024 demonstrated how world-class events can attract international visitors and captivate local audiences with electrifying competition. We look forward to hosting BLAST Premier Open 2027 as the third milestone in our growing partnership, and we are committed to building on this momentum in the years ahead while strengthening Singapore’s position as a leading destination for live entertainment events.”
The upcoming event is part of BLAST’s ongoing partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board and will be the third BLAST tournament held in the city. Singapore has already hosted two BLAST events in recent years. The BLAST Premier World Final 2024 was the company’s first event in Southeast Asia. This was followed by BLAST Dota Slam Singapore 2025, which further showed that the city can handle large-scale esports events.
