Candy Crush All Stars Tournament Returns with $1M Prize Pool Up for Grabs

Kicking off on March 20, 2025, Candy Crush All Stars 2025 is open to players around the world, from newcomers to seasoned Crushers. The global tournament builds on last year's epic showdown, where more than 15 million players competed for victory. This year, Crushers around the world are invited to join the action in a thrilling battle of skill, strategy, and sweet triumph. The two-month, free-to-enter competition features qualifiers, knockout rounds, and second-chance opportunities – all leading up to a live final in Los Angeles, where in-game winners will compete for the Candy Crush All Stars title. Only the best will make it to the ultimate showdown for a chance to claim their share of the $1M prize pool – matching the largest in Candy Crush history!

Last year alone, a staggering 15 million players joined the battle (that's more than the populations of New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago combined!) – swiping their way through 2.2 billion levels and collecting an astonishing 11.4 trillion All Stars Candies. 2024's reigning champion, Ben, rose to the top, outplaying the competition to claim the crown in a thrilling live final. Now, in 2025, the competition is fiercer than ever. Who will rise to the challenge and etch their name in Candy Crush history?

This year, Candy Crush is cranking up the nostalgia with Smash Mouth's iconic hit, 'All Star' – a song that's been hyping up champions for decades. "This legendary track sets the perfect tone for the campaign," says Luken Aragon, VP of Marketing for Candy Crush Saga, King. "In a tournament where skill meets fun, and anyone can go from casual Crusher to world champion, we're proudly reminding our community that every player can be an All Star."

Think you have what it takes to be an All Star? Get your game on, press play! The action kicks off with qualifiers running until March 27th, giving all players the chance to compete. This will be followed by knockout rounds, leading up to the high-stakes live final event where the top 10 in-game winners will compete for their share of the $1M prize pool and the coveted Candy Crush All Stars title.

The Candy Crush All Stars tournament is available in 23 markets worldwide and open to players 18 and older on selected level 5+ accounts. Candy Crush Saga® is free to download and play on iOS and Android. Ready to prove you're a Candy Crush All Star? The countdown to the sweetest competition in gaming starts now!
