Candy Crush esports fans, get ready! The Candy Crush All Stars tournament is back for its fifth thrilling year. Even better, a huge $1 million prize pool is waiting to be claimed. If you're eager to participate, there's more good news: the tournament begins today. But with 15 million players competing last year, the challenge will be fiercer than ever.

Veteran Candy Crush players may recall how the All Stars tournament operates, but for newcomers, here's a quick overview. This two-month event is open to everyone, giving you the opportunity to advance through various stages—from qualifiers to knockout rounds—with the finalists earning a spot at a live event in Los Angeles. There, they'll compete for the largest share of the $1 million prize.

One of the most exciting new features this year is an official theme song! And who better to provide it than the beloved late-90s band Smash Mouth with their hit "All Star"? This iconic track is sure to energize aspiring champions.

If you want to join Candy Crush Saga and aim for that incredible $1 million prize, you have until March 27 to take part in the qualifiers. These will lead to the knockout rounds and ultimately the finals, where fans can watch the top 10 in-game winners battle live on stage for the title of Candy Crush All Stars Tournament Champion!
