The receipt
Copied word for word from Meta's own page, so you can check it yourself:
“We'll open registration on October 3rd, and the practice round will start on October 10th. … Current Season: 2025”
Desk notes
Still not announced as of 31 Oct 2026: hub page still reads 'Current Season: 2025' with every 2025 round 'Concluded'. Last year registration opened 3 Oct and Round 1 ran 18 Oct, so a 2026 season is now four weeks late and may not run this year; do not promise dates. Consider dropping if still silent next week.
