What Is The Sentinels League?

Sentinels League is SentinelOne’s global threat hunting competition — a multi-stage championship that runs from June through October 2026, culminating live at OneCon in Las Vegas.

Every game is grounded in real-world attack patterns, real detection logic, and real operational pressure. Players go head-to-head across four games: Endpoint, Cloud, SIEM, and AI and capture flags of varying difficulty in high-intensity 30-minute qualifiers that test the exact skills defenders use in the field every day.

From June through August, qualifying games run online and in-person across the globe. The top 200 players per region then climb their Sentinels League standings and advance to the Regional Finals. Finally, three regional champions earn an all-expenses-paid trip to OneCon in Las Vegas for the Grand Final where one player is crowned Threat Hunting World Champion 2026.

Four Games. One Championship.

Endpoint — Hunt down and remediate vulnerabilities in scenarios drawn directly from real incident data.
Cloud — Track and eliminate threats across multi-clouds under time pressure.
SIEM — Assert your detection dominance in real-time hunting and remediation challenges.
AI — Go up against AI-generated threats and leverage AI-powered tools in scenarios built from the latest attack campaigns.

You can enter each game once across the qualifying season. Your combined score is what earns your place in the standings.

What You’re Playing For

Over $100,000 in prizes is distributed across every stage of the competition from the first qualifier through to the Grand Final.

In each online qualifier, payouts begin at first place and run all the way to 15th. First place takes $200, second takes $150, and the third, $100. Everyone from 4th to 15th walks away with $75. In total, there are 48 qualifiers in the season and every one of them pays.

Reach the Regional Finals and the stakes sharpen considerably. First place in your region is worth $2,500, with prizes distributed through to 15th place. For the three regional champions that make it to Las Vegas and the Grand Final, you’re competing for a $5,000 first prize, a portion donated to the charity of your choice through the S Foundation, and the trophy that belongs to only one person in the world.

Beyond the Competition

Sentinels League was built for one reason: To test real defenders in real-world scenarios and reward the best.

The skills you sharpen in a 30-minute qualifier are the same skills that matter when a real attack lands. Every flag hunted and every second against the clock all translate to what cyber defenders do every day. That’s what makes this championship different from anything else in the industry.

The community that showed up last year was extraordinary — thousands of hunters from dozens of countries joined a high-stakes competition with both skill and integrity. This year, the field is set to be bigger, the format harder, the rewards greater.

While only one player will leave Las Vegas as World Champion, every player who enters leaves sharper.
