Season 48 Release Date
The official start date for the new season has not been clearly confirmed yet. Since Season 47 has about eight days left, Season 48 is expected to arrive in early March 2026.
If you are planning to complete your current pass, this is the best time to finish your quests to get the rewards.
New Brawler: Sirius
Season 48 is bringing us Sirius, the 100th Brawler in the game, and the second Ultra Legendary after Kaze. Sirius is also the first male Ultra Legendary in the game.
Designed as a true villain, Sirius's main ability is related to the use of shadows. Sirius has the ability to take the “essence” of other Brawlers in the game and summon up to three Brawler Shadows. The health and attack of the original Brawlers are reflected in the shadows summoned by Sirius. Therefore, Sirius is very deadly in team battles.
If you are a fan of strategic gameplay and mind games, Sirius is sure to be one of your favorites in no time.
You can also check out the full abilities of Sirius in our dedicated article about the kit for Brawl Stars Sirius.
While Najia is released with the same Brawl Talk, it is released with Season 49.

New Events and Game Modes
Season 48 is not only about cosmetics. You also get several gameplay updates:
Rush Events
A limited-time event where you activate a large button on the mode screen to earn Coins, Power Points, Chaos Drops, and bonus Trophies.
Loaded Showdown
Mystery boxes replace normal Showdown boxes. They contain random power-ups such as bombs, bowling balls, and even a bumper car. Matches feel more chaotic and unpredictable.
Samurai Smash
Now centered around Sirius. Teams compete to defeat the most Brawler shadows.
New Modifiers
Finx effect, which briefly stops projectiles
Moving sandstorms during matches
Return of Treasure Hunt
The mode returns with several improvements, making it more balanced and competitive.
Major System Changes: Trophy Prestige
One of the biggest changes in this season is the Trophy Prestige System, which was added with the inclusion of Brawler Prestige. After the update, trophies will no longer reset. Once the Brawler reaches 1000 Trophies, they will prestige for the first time and receive a neon icon. If you would like a more in-depth look, please see our guide on the Brawl Stars Prestige System.
Trophy Milestone Skins
In the updated trophy system, you can earn a skin for 29 gems once your Brawler hits 750 Trophies. This provides you with more motivation to play your Brawlers, especially with the inclusion of the Prestige System, which was added in this season.
