PUBG Global Championship 2026 heads to Istanbul in December
KRAFTON confirms 32 teams, a $1.5 million base prize pool and the 11–13 December Grand Finals.
PUBG Esports schedules PGC 2026 from 1 to 13 December in Istanbul, Türkiye. The event brings together 32 teams and starts with a qualifying stage on 1 December, followed by five Survival Stage days and three Grand Finals days.
The confirmed base prize pool is at least $1.5 million, with additional crowdfunding. PUBG says teams qualify and earn starting-stage positions through PGS and regional results; the complete field is not yet final.
A separate final PGS circuit is scheduled from 14 October to 1 November. Those results affect the remaining PGC qualification places, so teams, seedings and bracket details should be updated only when PUBG Esports publishes them.
