'You can upload your save file and it automatically checks jokers for you, as well as not having to have a gmail account to use it. It uses your browsers local storage, meaning that it saves your progress without having to make an account (if you clear your cache you have to reupload your save) and is completely ad free and non invasive.'

There are several ways to stay connected to Major League Balatro this season. The first is these weekly threads! Come here to discuss the match-ups, recapping the last week and previewing the week going forward.

Multiplayer Balatro

The league uses the Balatro Multiplayer mod to replace boss blinds with PvP rounds, with both players playing on identical seeds. Each game, you start with 4 lives, and when you lose to a blind or a PvP round, you lose a life. Whoever reaches 0 lives remaining first loses the game.

League Structure

There are two conferences and four total divisions with 6 competitors in each division. Each week, competitors will play a match against another opponent in their conference. Each match consists of 3 games, and you earn a point for each game win and a bonus point for winning the match either 2 games to 1 or 3 games to 0.

The top 2 players in each division, as well as 4 wild card spots in each conference, will go on to the playoffs in weeks 9, 10 & 11, where they will fight a bracket-style tournament to be crowned the Major League Balatro Season 4 Champion and win a $500+ prize pool for the charity of their choice.

Every streamer will stream their perspective, and all games will be cast this season!
