The final stretch of the 2026 PUBG Global Series is here. PGS Circuit 4 closes out the season with three events left, and with 240 PGS Points still available, the eight spots at PUBG Global Championship 2026 remain wide open.
What to Know About PGS Circuit 4
Circuit 4 is more than a closing chapter. Across PGS 10, PGS 11 and the Circuit Final, PGS 12, the season-long PGS Points race will be settled, determining which eight teams advance to PGC 2026. For the build-up, see our look at the final road to PGC, or catch up on the PGS 10 Survival Stage.
PGS Circuit 4 Schedule: PGS 10, PGS 11 and PGS 12
PGS Circuit 4 runs from October 14 to November 1.
- PGS 10: Group Stage on October 14, Winners Stage on October 15, Survival Stage on October 16, and Final Stage on October 17–18.
- PGS 11: Winners Stage on October 22, Survival Stage on October 23, and Final Stage on October 24–25.
- PGS 12: Survival Stage on October 29, and Grand Finals on October 30 to November 1.
At PGS 12, the top eight teams in the Circuit 4 PGS Points standings advance directly to the Grand Finals. The remaining 16 teams fight through the Survival Stage for the other places.
PGS Points Standings: Tight Race Around the PGC Cutoff
After three circuits and nine PGS events, Virtus.pro lead the standings with 261 points, followed by Made in Thailand (224), 17Gaming (223) and T1 (208).
The final PGC qualification spot is currently held by Petrichor Road in eighth with 152 points. Falcons sit seventh on 154, while Gen.G Esports are ninth on 145, just seven points off the cutoff. With gaps this small, a single strong event could shift several positions.
How PGC 2026 Qualification and Seeding Work
The top eight teams in the final PGS Points standings, accumulated across PGS 1 through PGS 12, qualify for PGC 2026. Final placement also shapes where a team starts its journey:
- 1st place goes directly to the PGC 2026 Grand Finals.
- 2nd place enters at Survival Stage Day 1.
- 3rd through 8th place begin in the Qualifying Stage.
So for teams already inside the zone, Circuit 4 is about climbing for a better seed, not just staying in.
240 PGS Points Still Up for Grabs
PGS 10 and PGS 11 winners each earn 60 PGS Points, with points awarded down to 16th place. At PGS 12, the Circuit Final, points are doubled: 120 for first and 96 for second. The maximum a team can collect in Circuit 4 is 240 points (60 + 60 + 120).
For teams outside the Top 8, this is a final chance to move up. For those inside, it is a test of their ability to hold on and secure a stronger PGC seed.
PGS 10 Groups and the Team Flash Replacement
The 24 teams in PGS 10 have been split into three groups using snake seeding based on PGS 9 results. PGS 9 winner Gen.G Esports sit in Group A, second-place T1 in Group B, and third-place Falcons in Group C. For how the event began, see our PGS 10 Group Stage report.
Group A: Gen.G Esports, Made in Thailand, Virtus.pro, TEAM LIQUID, DN SOOPers, Sharper Esports, Team Vitality, Natus Vincere
Group B: T1, Alpha Gaming, Team Flash, eArena, Petrichor Road, FULL SENSE, TYLOO, JD Gaming
Group C: Falcons, Geekay Esports, Anyone’s Legend, 17Gaming, FOUR ANGRY MEN, Twisted Minds, 09 (Team Nemesis at PGS 9), Godlike
Following GAM The Expendables’ withdrawal from PGS Circuit 4, Team Flash was selected as the replacement based on its PVS Phase 1 placement, in line with the existing qualification criteria.
