Fans can catch the MCC x Minecraft Ender Cup on July 27, 2024, when it’ll run for as long as it takes for a winner to emerge. There are eight unique games to fight through, covering everything you’d expect a Minecraft tournament to include; building, crafting, puzzle-solving, parkour, and teamwork. After all eight games are finished, a final duel will decide the true winners of the entire competition and see the Ender Cup awarded for yet another year.

The Purple Pandas won the MCC x Minecraft Ender Cup for 2024. It was a pretty intense and very close competition this year, and this team wasn’t even out in first most of the way. But it managed to claw back the victory in the end.

When and where to watch the MCC x Minecraft Ender Cup

The MCC x Minecraft Ender Cup starts at 6 PM BST/1 PM EDT/10 AM PDT on July 27, 2024. There will likely be a bit of a preamble before the event even gets properly underway, so I’d say the actual competition won’t start for 30 minutes after these times.

You can watch the event on the official Minecraft YouTube channel, the official Minecraft Twitch channel, or the official website. I recommend YouTube because it’s one of the safest platforms to view this sort of thing. Plus, you can make the most of your YouTube Premium Membership there with no ads and special chat options.
