PUBG Esports Enters a New Era with Global Series Circuit 1

PUBG Esports is entering a brand-new era in 2026. For the first time, we are moving away from standalone events to a new format called the PUBG Global Series Circuit. PUBG Global Series Circuit 1 is beginning soon, with the action-packed event taking place in Seoul, South Korea. For three weeks, 24 of the world’s best esports teams will go head-to-head. Here are the PGS Circuit 1 Schedule and participating teams.

PGS Circuit 1 Schedule Information

The new format is the "Circuit," where three weeks of action will take place. Here is how the competition works, leading up to the Grand Finale:

Week 1: PGS 1 Series 1 (March 18 – March 22)

Here, all 24 teams start from zero. They will then fight their way through the Group Stage by attaining the maximum possible ranks in this stage

Week 2: PGS 2 Series 2 (March 26 – March 29)

There will be no Group Stage for this stage. Teams will be seeded into the Winners or Survival stage based solely on their standings in Series 1.

Week 3: The Circuit Final (April 2 – April 5)

The seeding will be based on the combined performance of the teams from Series 1 and 2. The top 8 teams from the two weeks will not have to go through the survival stage.

Most matches start at 19:00 KST, but the very first day of the Group Stage on the 18th of March has matches starting at 14:00 KST.
