PUBG Mobile Esports has revealed the details for the first season of the PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) 2026. The tournament will take place from June 2 to June 7 and will feature 32 teams. PMGO 2026 will consist of three stages.
The event will begin with the Group Stage, scheduled for June 2–3, where teams will be divided into two groups of 16. Six matches will be played each day. The top six teams from each group will advance directly to the Grand Finals. Teams finishing in 7th–14th place will move on to the Survival Stage, while the remaining teams will be eliminated from the tournament.
The Survival Stage matches will be held on June 4. The top four teams will qualify for the Grand Finals, while the rest will be knocked out.
The Grand Finals will take place on June 6–7 and will feature the 16 strongest teams (12 from the Group Stage and 4 from the Survival Stage). The “Smash Rule” will be applied, meaning a team must reach a set points threshold and then win a match to be crowned champion.
