The PUBG Global Championship 2025 (PGC 2025) has officially been revealed, and it’s shaping up to be the biggest showdown in PUBG Esports history. From 28 November to 14 December, the world’s best 33 teams will descend on Bangkok, Thailand, to battle for glory, pride, and the ultimate chicken dinner.

This year’s PGC is also part of PUBG United, a new initiative that brings together the year-end championships for both PUBG PC and PUBG Mobile, making it a true global festival for fans across platforms.

Schedule and Venues

The three-week event will be split into stages, keeping the action intense right up until the finals:

  • Group Stage: 28 November – 3 December (CentralWorld PULSE, Bangkok)
  • Last Stage: 5 – 7 December (CentralWorld PULSE, Bangkok)
  • Grand Finals: 12 – 14 December (Siam Paragon Hall, Bangkok)

Fans attending the event in person can expect exclusive programmes, influencer appearances, and special fan zones, making it more than just a competition—it’s a full-on esports celebration.

Format Explained

Krafton has simplified the tournament structure for PGC 2025 to make it easy for viewers to follow without losing the drama that keeps PUBG exciting.

  • Group Stage: 32 teams are divided into two groups. The top five from each group advance directly to the Grand Finals. The bottom three are eliminated, while the middle eight move to the Last Stage.
  • Last Stage: 16 teams compete for the final five Grand Finals spots.
  • Grand Finals: A 16-team showdown featuring the 10 Group Stage qualifiers, five from the Last Stage, and one regional wildcard team.

At the end of the Grand Finals, only one squad will lift the trophy and claim the title of PGC 2025 Champion.

Prize Pool and Pick’em Challenge

The base prize pool sits at a massive $1.5 million USD, with the final figure set to grow through the Pick’em Challenge crowdfunding system. Last year’s pool hit $1.78 million, and given the hype around this year’s combined PUBG United format, that number could climb even higher.

Fans will once again be able to take part in the Pick’em Challenge, predict winners, and engage with the event online, giving them a direct stake in the action.

Confirmed Teams So Far

As the road to PGC concludes in each region, more teams are being confirmed. Right now, 10 squads have already secured their spots:

  • Europe: Twisted Minds, Geekay Esports, Virtus.pro, FaZe Clan, SLAMG
  • Americas: Team Liquid, FURIA, Mission Ready International Alliance, Al Qadsiah, ROC Esports

The remaining teams from Asia, APAC, and other regions will be finalised in the coming weeks.

A Global Celebration of PUBG

PGC 2025 isn’t just about competition. Krafton has emphasised the event as a global festival, with interactive fan activities, exclusive on-site events, and a continuous storyline that allows fans to follow their favourite teams from start to finish.

From bold strategies to dramatic comebacks, and of course the final chicken dinner, PUBG Global Championship 2025 promises non-stop action and some of the most intense moments in competitive battle royale.

Further details on broadcasts, ticketing, and on-site promotions will be revealed soon. PUBG fans worldwide will want to mark their calendars—Bangkok is about to become the centre of the PUBG universe.
