On June 12, 2026, in front of fans, family and media in London, King crowned the winner of Candy Crush All Stars 2026 — billed as the biggest-ever live final in the tournament's history. The champion: Luana, an art student from Bahia, Brazil.
"I've been playing for as long as I can remember. The fact that Candy Crush All Stars exists and I got to compete in it feels like it came straight out of my imagination." — Luana, 2026 champion
The prize: a $1M pool and a jeweled ring
The 2026 edition put $1 million on the line across the finalists. First place earned $500,000, and the winner of the event's first-ever bonus round pocketed an extra $10,000. But the trophy everyone photographed was the championship ring, custom-made by jeweler Icebox — packed with sapphires, rubies, emeralds and pink sapphires, topped with a spinning blue Wrapped Candy dome and "Candy Crush Saga" in gold.
All 10 finalists
Millions of players across more than 25 countries competed online over months; only ten made it to the London stage. The finalists — from Brazil, the United States, Germany, Spain and beyond — were Max, Selita, Luana, German, Jemini, Cole, Ingrid, Tiago, Aaron and Camilla. One fun detail: Ingrid and German, both from California, are a married couple who qualified independently.
How the final played out
The final was a series of head-to-head duels, on the clock, with both players' boards mirrored on the big screen. Through round after round, Luana kept her composure under pressure and closed out the deciding game under a shower of gold confetti.
King President Todd Green framed it simply: "All Stars brings joy at a scale only Candy Crush can," adding that casual games "can create moments of real skill, connection and joy at a huge scale."
