Quick answer
Brawl Stars Season 55 "Brawl-O-Ween" is live now. It launched on October 1, 2026, when Season 54 "Royal Academy" ended, and runs through roughly the first week of November 2026 (ClutchPoints, Oct 1). Unlike a normal season, Brawl-O-Ween 2026 is a month-long, multi-phase Halloween event with a running story — not a single weekend challenge. Here is what actually changed:
- A phased "Gus" story event. Supercell has built the whole month around a Halloween narrative with puzzles, community choices, a creator-led experience, returning classic Brawl-O-Ween bosses, and a finale that ties it together (Supercell release notes).
- Loony, a new home-screen companion. Gus's balloon sits on your Home screen and banks your daily-win rewards; six daily wins fill it, then you press and hold to claim.
- Coffin Boxes — a new gacha reward drop for the event, each giving ten draws from a mixed pool.
- Vince, a new Mythic Damage Dealer (#108) — the spooky barista of the "Creepy Cafe," arriving in early access during October.
- A Halloween Brawl Pass headlined by Fortune Teller P (Mr. P) and Cursed Shade chromas, plus shop skins like Dr. Bellenstein and Terrornaut Damian.
- A balance pass shipped with the update — including a nerf to Shade, who is also a Brawl Pass headliner this season.
The headline is simple: Brawl-O-Ween is the biggest in-game event of the Brawl Stars year, and the 2026 version is a full month-long story rather than a quick limited-time mode. Below is everything confirmed so far, and what is still being revealed phase by phase.

When does Brawl-O-Ween Season 55 start and end?
Season 55 "Brawl-O-Ween" went live on October 1, 2026, the moment Season 54 "Royal Academy" ended (TopUpLive). Brawl Stars seasons run about four to five weeks, so Brawl-O-Ween is expected to close in early November 2026, overlapping the competitive calendar's Last Chance Qualifier (Oct 17–18, Guangzhou) and leading into the World Finals in Tokyo (Nov 20–22).
What makes this season different is its structure. As the Fandom Version History notes, "This year's Brawl-O-Ween will have a month-long event experienced in multiple phases, all following a story connected to Gus." (Brawl Stars Wiki) That means the event you see on day one is not the event you will see mid-month. New phases unlock puzzles, community choices, and boss fights over time, so the content keeps changing until the finale.
What is in the Brawl-O-Ween 2026 event?
Supercell has confirmed the backbone of the event, even though some phases are still being revealed. The pieces that matter:
| Feature | Confirmed detail |
|---|---|
| Story | Month-long Halloween narrative connected to Gus, delivered in phases |
| Puzzles | Clue-based puzzles that unlock as the story progresses |
| Community choices | Player voting that influences the event direction |
| Creator experience | A creator-led community activity |
| Bosses | Classic Brawl-O-Ween bosses return |
| Coffin Boxes | New gacha reward drop (10 draws per box) |
| Loony | Home-screen balloon companion that banks daily-win rewards |
| Finale | A final phase that ties the whole story together |
Because the event is phased, the smart approach is to log in frequently — daily if you can — rather than binge it in one sitting. Rewards, puzzle clues, and boss availability rotate as new phases go live.
Who is Loony and how do the daily rewards work?
Loony is Gus's balloon companion and one of the clearest new systems this season. It lives on your Home screen, reacts to your matches and account milestones, and stores your extra daily-win rewards so you do not lose them if you forget to collect.
The loop is straightforward:
- Win matches during the day. Six daily wins fill Loony completely.
- Once all six are in, press and hold the balloon to claim the stored rewards.
- Miss a day? The rewards carry over to the next day automatically, so Loony is forgiving for casual players.
This ties directly into the existing daily-win and Chaos Drop systems — the sixth daily win still includes a Chaos Drop, and Loony is the wrapper that makes sure you actually bank it.
What are Coffin Boxes?
Coffin Boxes are the event's new gacha drop. Each box runs ten reward draws from a mixed pool that can include Coins, Power Points, Credits, Bling, Gems, and XP Boosters, with rarer pulls possible (The Click). They slot into the Brawl-O-Ween reward cycle alongside the returning bosses and daily Loony rewards.
As with every Brawl Stars drop, the reward tier is rolled and locked the moment the box is awarded, not when you open it — so there is no benefit to "saving" Coffin Boxes for a lucky moment. Open them as you earn them.
Who is Vince, the new Brawler?
Vince is the new Mythic Brawler launching with Brawl-O-Ween, following Cosmo (September's Mythic). He is a Damage Dealer (Liquipedia) and the "spooky barista" of the Creepy Cafe, themed around caterpillars, moths, and coffee — part of the new "Creepsville" group that sits next to Juju's Oddities shop (brawlqr).
Key facts to know right now:
- Rarity: Mythic (the same tier as Cosmo), roster slot #108.
- Release: During October, as an early-access Brawler first, then added to the standard Brawler Blast unlock pool (1,900 Mythic Credits) afterward. Supercell has confirmed the month but not a precise in-game date — watch the in-game News tab in the first days of the event.
- How to unlock: Like all Brawlers now, Vince unlocks in-game through Brawler Blast — there is no QR code or promo code for Brawlers, so ignore any site claiming a "Vince code."
Because his exact kit numbers can still shift before full release, treat early build guides as provisional. The safe call is to grind Credits toward his Brawler Blast cost while watching for the early-access event.

What's in the Season 55 Brawl Pass?
The Brawl-O-Ween Brawl Pass leans hard into Halloween cosmetics. The confirmed headliners (esports.gg):
- Fortune Teller P (Mr. P) — with Mr. Psychic and Mystic P chromas.
- Cursed Shade — with Jolly Ghost and Creepy Shade chromas.
- A pass-exclusive "Paranormal Investigator" title.
Outside the pass, the shop skins for the season include Dr. Bellenstein, Bellenstein's Monster Piper, Flame Rider Chuck, and Terrornaut Damian — the classic Brawl-O-Ween spooky-skin lineup.
Were there balance changes with the update?
Yes. A balance pass shipped alongside the Brawl-O-Ween update. Confirmed early changes from the Fandom Version History include a nerf to Shade — his Super charge when near enemies was reduced by 15%, his "Long Arms" gadget cooldown went from 18s to 20s, and his "Jump Scare" gadget fear radius dropped from 1000 to 600 (Brawl Stars Wiki, Version History 2026).
That Shade nerf is notable because Shade is also a Brawl Pass headliner this season — so you will see a lot of him, but he is a slightly weaker pick than he was in September. As always, exact per-stat numbers vary by tracker in the first days after a patch; cross-check live win-rate data on a tracker like brawltime.ninja or brawlplanet.com before committing to a tier-list claim, and frame the meta as "as of October 2026."
How to make the most of Brawl-O-Ween
A simple priority order for the month:
- Hit your six daily wins every day to fill Loony — this is the most consistent free-reward faucet of the season.
- Bank Credits so you can unlock Vince through Brawler Blast as soon as his early-access window opens.
- Check the News tab for new phases — puzzles, community votes, and bosses unlock over time, and some rewards are phase-gated.
- Decide on the Brawl Pass early if you want the Fortune Teller P or Cursed Shade chromas; pass value is highest when bought near the start of the season.
- Open Coffin Boxes as you get them — the reward is pre-rolled, so saving them does nothing.
