Changes to the PUBG pro scene for 2027 have been announced: Europe and Eurasia will become separate regions
PUBG’s esports division has unveiled a list of changes coming to the competitive scene in 2027. Among the new features are additional regions, a revamped partner program, and a new esports points system.
Regional Changes
EMEA will be divided into Europe, Eurasia, and MENA, while the Americas will be split into South and North. Additionally, India will be added to the list of regions. It is noted that these changes will open up opportunities for new teams to compete on the regional and international competitive scene.
Competitive Phases
Four competitive phases are planned for 2027:
- Phase 1: March–May.
- Phase 2: May–June.
- Phase 3: August–September.
- Phase 4: November–December.
Each phase begins with a regional league, where participants compete for spots in the international tournament; performance in these leagues earns PUBG esports points—these points accumulate throughout the year and are required to qualify for the PUBG Global Championship.
Securing a slot in the PUBG Global Series (PGS) during one phase does not guarantee participation in subsequent phases—this is done to give new teams a better chance of making it to the world stage.
Changes to the Global Partnership Program
Starting in 2027, the partnership will focus on in-game items and marketing activities. Program participants will not receive slots in the PGS—they will need to qualify through regional tournaments. Further details will be announced later.
PUBG Esports Points
The current points system will be replaced by PUBG Esports Points. Under the new system, points will be awarded exclusively for performance at PGS events. They accumulate throughout the year and are required to qualify for the PGC.
Preliminary Tournament Schedule for 2027
Please note that dates are subject to change.
- Phase 1: Late March – Early May.
- Phase 2: Mid-May – mid-June.
- PUBG Nations Cup 2027. Early July.
- Phase 3: Early August–mid-September.
- Phase 4: Late September–early November.
- PUBG Global Championship 2027. Late November–early December.
Earlier, the PGS 2026 Circuit 4 Series 1 concluded, with Virtus.pro taking first place and Team Liquid coming in a close second. The PUBG Global Championship 2026 will take place in Istanbul from December 1 through 13, with organizers offering a prize pool of $1.5 million.
