Epic Games is celebrating another big international occasion and putting a limited cosmetic item in Fortnite. With the 2026 Football World Cup approaching, users can get the Celebration Ball Back Bling for free with the Fortnite Gift Card promotion.
Claiming the Celebration Ball Back Bling for Free
You can obtain the Celebration Ball Back Bling by redeeming a Fortnite Gift Card anytime between June 8 – July 19, 2026.
The Back Bling is free, but you have to buy the Gift Card to get it. Plus, you get the full value of V-Bucks that you can spend at a later date to help you buy future Battle Passes, skins, and shop items.
- To get a Fortnite Gift Card, purchase one from a participating store or online retailer
- Go to the Fortnite Gift Card redemption site
- Type in the 16-digit PIN. You can find it on the card's back or on your digital purchase
- Sign into your Epic Games account and ensure that you’re redeeming on the right Fortnite account
- Click on “Redeem Now” to finish the process
- After redeeming you will receive the Celebration Ball Back Bling in your Fortnite locker
Don’t Miss the Deadline
The Celebration Ball Back Bling is a promotional item and is therefore extremely unlikely to appear in any future cosmetic item releases in the Fortnite Item Shop. Any Fortnite Gift Card redeemed after July 19, 2026 will award the recipient their V-Bucks, but will not give the Celebration Ball Back Bling to the recipient.
As the Gift Card needs to be redeemed to award the V-Bucks, redeeming the Gift Card is the only way to ensure it's added to the Fortnite collection. So be sure to use your Gift Card to obtain this limited time soccer cosmetic.
