Fortnite is marking the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a wave of soccer-themed content, including new cosmetics tied to real-world stars. One of the latest additions is the BAILA emote, released as part of the Vinicius Jr. Icon Series collaboration.
If you have searched the Item Shop and could not find it, you are not missing it. You can only unlock the BAILA emote by meeting specific requirements, not by spending V-Bucks, and you need to know where to look to claim it for free.
Unlock the Free Fortnite BAILA Emote
You can only get the BAILA emote through a limited promotion with Vivo Brazil. If you are an active Vivo customer, you may receive a unique Fortnite redemption code as part of the World Cup campaign.
Follow these steps to claim it:
- Get your Vivo promotional code.
- Visit the official Fortnite code redemption website and enter the code.
- Launch Fortnite on a mobile device.
- Earn 100,000 XP by playing on Fortnite Mobile.
Streaming through mobile cloud services does not count. You must play directly on the mobile app.
After you complete the XP requirement, the BAILA emote will appear in your Fortnite Locker.
Purchasing the BAILA Emote in Fortnite
You cannot currently buy the BAILA Emote through the Fortnite Item Shop. Epic Games has not listed it for direct sale, so you cannot spend V-Bucks to unlock it right now.
Your only options are to complete the required promotional steps if they are still active or wait for a future shop release. Epic has reissued limited cosmetics before, often pricing emotes at around 500 V-Bucks, so you may see it return under standard rates.
