GTA Online Business Rivalries Event: Week-by-Week Guide (September 2026)

GTA Online’s Business Rivalries event runs from 3 to 30 September 2026 in four weekly windows, one per business type: Executives, then Bikers, Gunrunners and Nightclub owners. Each week gives away a property, pays GTA$1,000,000 for the weekly challenge, ten times the usual, and discounts one car by 70 per cent. Finish one weekly challenge before 23 September and the Penaud La Coureuse with its Hao’s Special Works upgrade is yours to claim between 24 and 30 September. Here is the full schedule and the order to play it in.

This week: Nightclub owners, 24 to 30 September (final week)

This is the last week of the event, and the one that ties the other three together: the Nightclub’s warehouse fills with the product of your Bunker and MC businesses, so the free club pays more if you claimed the earlier properties. Outside the event, the Ocelot Penetrator is on the podium and the Pegassi Zorrusso is the Prize Ride for winning the LS Car Meet Series four days in a row. Rockstar has not announced what replaces Business Rivalries on 1 October. The full list of bonuses and discounts is on our GTA Online weekly update, and the best business locations page compares every nightclub, the free Elysian Island one included.

How do I get the free Penaud La Coureuse?

Complete any one weekly challenge during the first three windows, between 3 and 23 September. Then log in between 24 and 30 September: the Penaud La Coureuse, already fitted with its Hao’s Special Works upgrade, is delivered to your garage. HSW upgrades are normally PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC Enhanced only, and so is this reward.

Which free property is worth taking?

All four, because they cost nothing and each unlocks a line of work. If you only chase money, the ranking is the one in our GTA Online business tier list: the Nightclub, fed by the Bunker and MC businesses, earns the most per hour of real play; the Bunker is second; the Clubhouse alone is worth it for the Contracts, not for the product. Week 4 ties them together, which is why the event ends there.

Is it faster to buy a Shark Card?

Four weekly challenges pay GTA$4,000,000 for a few hours of play, the value of a Whale Shark Card. If you still want a card, our pages compare Instant Gaming, Eneba, Kinguin and the PlayStation Store for each one: the Megalodon was 42.93 EUR at the cheapest seller on 5 September 2026 against 74.99 EUR on the PlayStation Store. Instant Gaming links on GTAside are affiliate links, same price for you.
