Attend the Premiere of Heated Rivalry Season 2: Here’s How Fans Can Enter This Incredible Sweepstakes

If you’re counting down the days until Heated Rivalry returns, this might be the opportunity of a lifetime. Fans now have the chance to attend the exclusive premiere of Heated Rivalry Season 2 alongside creator Jacob Tierney, members of the cast, and the crew behind the beloved series. One lucky winner and a guest will receive travel accommodations and access to the premiere event, making this an unforgettable way to celebrate the next chapter of one of our favorite queer stories.

Even better, the sweepstakes supports Rainbow Railroad through Our Change Foundation. Every donation made through the campaign helps Rainbow Railroad continue its vital work assisting LGBTQI+ people around the world who are facing persecution and violence and seeking safety. It means fans can support a meaningful cause while also getting the chance to be part of a very special Heated Rivalry event.

What Can Fans Win?

The grand prize includes an invitation for the winner and a guest to attend the exclusive Heated Rivalry Season 2 premiere, round-trip airfare for both guests, and two nights of hotel accommodations. According to the official rules, the premiere is expected to take place in 2027, with the exact date and location set to be announced after the sweepstakes concludes.

The official rules also note that airfare is covered up to $2,000. If travel costs exceed that amount, the winner will receive a one-time cash stipend to help arrange their own flights. Should the winner live within 200 miles of the event location, organizers may substitute air travel with ground transportation.

How To Enter

The sweepstakes officially opened on June 5, 2026, and will remain open until September 5, 2026. Fans can enter through the campaign website by making a donation, with the number of entries increasing based on the amount contributed.

A donation of $15 earns 150 entries, while $25 earns 250 entries and $35 earns 350 entries. Fans who contribute $50 will receive 600 entries, while donations of $75, $100, $150, $200, and $250 earn 750, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, and 2,500 entries, respectively.

For those who would rather not donate, there is also a free method of entry available. Participants can complete the official online entry form through the sweepstakes website, with each valid submission earning 2,500 entries. According to the rules, the form may be submitted multiple times, although all participants are subject to the overall entry limit.

The maximum number of entries permitted per person is 5,000, regardless of the method used. Fans may also be able to earn additional entries through referral links and other promotional activities available through the campaign page.

Important Eligibility Information

The sweepstakes is open only to individuals who are at least 18 years old at the time of entry. The winner will be selected in a random drawing scheduled for September 7, 2026, and will be notified by email or phone call.

Fans should also be aware that certain restrictions apply. The sweepstakes is void in Quebec and several countries where such promotions are prohibited by law (Cuba, Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Myanmar, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic). Additionally, international travelers may need valid travel documentation, including passports, in order to claim and use the prize.

Because the prize centers around attending the Season 2 premiere, both the winner and their guest must be available to travel once the event date is announced. Guests must also be at least 18 years old at the time the prize is fulfilled.

Be Sure To Read The Official Rules

As exciting as this opportunity is, we strongly encourage everyone planning to participate to read the full official rules before entering. The rules contain important information regarding eligibility requirements, travel conditions, entry limits, prize fulfillment details, and other terms that participants should understand before submitting an entry.

For Heated Rivalry fans, this is a rare chance to potentially be in the room when Season 2 makes its debut. Whether you’re entering through a donation that supports Rainbow Railroad’s life-changing work or using the free entry option, it’s an exciting opportunity to be part of the celebration surrounding one of the most anticipated LGBTQ+ series currently on the horizon.

We’re wishing everyone the very best of luck—and who knows? One of you could be heading to the Heated Rivalry Season 2 premiere and experiencing the next chapter of Shane (Hudson Williams) and Ilya’s (Connor Storrie) story before much of the fandom.
