The PUBG Global Championship, PUBG Mobile’s biggest and most prestigious event of the year, is gearing up to host a thrilling and action-packed showdown between the top PUBG teams from across the world. The 48 participating teams from around the world will compete for a $4 million prize pool and the title of the world’s best PUBG team.

PUBG Global Championship Format

The competition will follow an entirely different format than the previous two seasons beginning with the League Stage on November 1. With a massive $4 million prize pool for this major contest, Tencent has split the event into two parts: League Stage and Grand Finals. The League stage is further divided into three stages: the Group Stage, the Survival Stage, and the Last Chance Stage, with a distinct prize pool for each one. Furthermore, Tencent has announced that the League Stage will see the distribution of about $2.5 million of the prize pool’s total, while the Grand Finals will see the distribution of the remaining $1.5 million.
