Direct Answer: When and where is the Singapore RQ?
The Riftbound Regional Qualifier Singapore will be held from September 4 to 6, 2026, at Singapore EXPO. Hong Kong and Singapore are both UTC+8, so the official SGT times listed can be directly understood as HKT by Hong Kong players, with no conversion needed. In addition to the main event, there will also be a Prize Wall, vendor booths, and community activities; official coverage is listed to begin at 10:00 HKT / SGT, with the actual daily schedule to be determined by the official channels.

Additionally, the official announcement states that for the 33 heroes in "Spiritforged," "Unleashed," and "Vendetta," there will be a Best-Of Legends Foil Plated Legend award: the player who performs best with that hero will receive the prize. This is an award "among players of the same hero," not equivalent to the overall ranking prizes.
How to Watch the Livestream in Hong Kong
Official coverage is listed to begin at 10:00 SGT, which is 10:00 HKT; the actual daily broadcast schedule will be determined by the official channels.
