Story Highlights

- 32 teams from nine regions will compete, with the Grand Finals set for June 6 and 7.
The first global PUBG Mobile tournament of the year, PMGO 2026 Season 1, is about to begin. As planned in the official esports schedule, the competition is drawing near. Teams will battle it out for a share of the $500,000 prize pool, with the ultimate goal of claiming the largest portion for themselves.
Even though leading esports communities and countries like India, China, and Japan aren’t involved, the tournament will still be exciting thanks to the talented players from Southeast Asia.
