PUBG UNITED 2026 will bring the PUBG Global Championship (PGC) and PUBG MOBILE Global Championship (PMGC) Grand Finals together in İstanbul from Dec. 11-13. Both championships will play their finals at Turkcell Basketbol Gelişim Merkezi (BGM), according to PUBG’s announcement.
The gathering follows the first PUBG UNITED, held in Bangkok in 2025, where PUBG and PUBG MOBILE came together under one event. This year, the top 16 teams from each championship will compete for their respective world titles.
The PGC’s 32-team field will progress through Qualifying, Survival and Grand Finals, a route detailed in the PGC stage breakdown. PMGC’s 39 teams will advance through The Gauntlet, Group Stage, Last Chance and Grand Finals before the final 16 compete in İstanbul.
Competition is only part of the festival. Plans for the city include a giant Erangel Bridge installation, Erangel VR, new mode experiences, hands-on DIY art, fan meetups and the PUBG Official MD Store, along with giveaways and other activities. Online activities will also give fans who cannot attend in person a way to join in.
