The Fortnite Season 5 Week 2 Challenges are here. There are seven new challenges in total, and one of the challenges is all about basketball. The Fortnite Basketball Hoops challenge requires players to find five basketball hoops and score points in all of them. There are plenty of basketball courts around in Fortnite, so remembering their locations can be quite tricky. We’re here to take the blind panic out of your search and guide you in the correct direction.
Fortnite Basketball Hoop Locations: Where are the Fortnite Basketball Hoops?
There are ten basketball courts throughout Fortnite’s map. All corners of Fortnite’s world are covered in the Fortnite Season 5 Week 2 Challenge. For example, you’ll find one in Retail Row, one in Paradise Palms, and one in Greasy Grove. We’ve put together a handy map containing all the Fortnite basketball hoops locations, which you can see below.
Now all you need to do if you want to complete the basketball challenge is head on over to the locations where we have handily placed a basketball on the map above. You should find them in no time.

Once you have found the basketball hoops, completing the challenge couldn’t be easier. All you need to do is make sure you have the basketball equipped, get within shooting distance and try to score a point. There is a slight snag, however. You must be Tier 11 in the Season 5 Battle Pass in order to tackle the basketball challenge. Scoring points in five different basketball hoops will net you with 5 Battle Stars, which is a solid bonus for not much work.
