The 2026 PUBG Global Series enters its final stretch with PGS Circuit 4, a three-tournament run from October 14 to November 1 that will decide which eight teams qualify for the PUBG Global Championship 2026. With 240 PGS Points still available and narrow margins around the qualification cutoff, the outcome will reshape the standings. For more on the circuit, see our PGS Circuit 4 overview.
PGS Circuit 4 Schedule: Three Tournaments, One Final Push
Circuit 4 comprises PGS 10, PGS 11, and the Circuit Final, PGS 12. Together, they close the 12-event PGS Points race.
- PGS 10: Group Stage (October 14), Winners Stage (October 15), Survival Stage (October 16), Final Stage (October 17–18)
- PGS 11: Winners Stage (October 22), Survival Stage (October 23), Final Stage (October 24–25)
- PGS 12: Survival Stage (October 29), Grand Finals (October 30–November 1)
PGS 10 opens with the Group Stage on October 14, featuring 24 teams. PGS 12 works differently as the Circuit Final: the top eight teams in the Circuit 4 PGS Points standings, based on PGS 10 and PGS 11, advance directly to the Grand Finals. The remaining 16 teams play the Survival Stage for the remaining Grand Finals spots.
PGS Points Standings After Circuit 3
After nine events across three circuits, the PUBG Global Series 2026 standings show Virtus.pro leading with 261 points. Made in Thailand is second with 224, followed by 17Gaming with 223 and T1 with 208.
The gaps are tight at the cutoff. Petrichor Road holds eighth place, the final qualifying spot, with 152 points. Seventh-place Falcons are two points ahead at 154. Ninth-place Gen.G Esports are seven points behind the cutoff with 145. These standings reflect the end of Circuit 3; Circuit 4 has not yet changed them, and they will update as PGS 10, PGS 11, and PGS 12 conclude.
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. A team’s final position also decides where it starts at the championship:
- 1st place advances directly to the PGC 2026 Grand Finals
- 2nd place enters at Survival Stage Day 1
- 3rd through 8th place begin in the Qualifying Stage
For teams already inside the top eight, Circuit 4 is a fight for a better PGC seed as well as for their place in the field.
240 PGS Points Still Up for Grabs
PGS 10 and PGS 11 each award 60 PGS Points to the winner, with points distributed down to 16th place. At the Circuit Final, PGS 12, values are doubled: the winner earns 120 points and second place receives 96. PGS 10 and PGS 11 values are half of PGS 12’s throughout the standings.
The maximum a team can earn in Circuit 4 is therefore 240 points (60 + 60 + 120). Given the narrow gaps around the qualification line, the final standings still have room to change.
PGS 10 Groups and Team Flash Replacement
PGS 10 begins with 24 teams split into Groups A, B, and C by snake seeding based on PGS 9 results. PGS 9 winner Gen.G Esports is in Group A, second-place T1 in Group B, and third-place Falcons in Group C. The Group Stage takes place on October 14, with the Winners Stage following on October 15. Follow the opening day in our PGS 10 Group Stage coverage.
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
In an October 12 update, Team Flash was selected to replace GAM The Expendables, who withdrew from Circuit 4. The replacement follows the existing qualification criteria and is based on Team Flash’s placement in PVS Phase 1.
The Final Step to PGC 2026
The PUBG Global Series journey that began with PGS 1 has three tournaments left. With 240 points on the line, teams outside the top eight have one last chance to break into qualification, while those inside will be defending their position and aiming for a stronger PGC seed.
