The Pubg Battlegrounds developer announced a major competitive overhaul for 2027 esports, introducing four distinct phases running throughout the year. Each phase features a Regional League leading into a corresponding Pubg Global Series event.

The regional structure sees several expansions and divisions. The EMEA region splits into Europe, Eurasia, and MENA, while the Americas divide into North America and South America. India also joins as a brand-new competitive region.

Global Partner Team slots are being removed, requiring all teams to qualify through regional performance without guaranteed entry. A new Pubg Esports Points system replaces previous formats, awarding points exclusively at global events to determine Global Championship qualification.

The 2027 schedule runs from late March through early December, featuring the four phases, the Nations Cup in early July, and the Global Championship at the end of the year. The developer notes that the schedule remains subject to change, with further partnership details arriving in future updates.
