The 2026 PUBG Global Series reaches its climax this October with PGS Circuit 4, the final three tournaments that will determine which eight teams earn their spots at the PUBG Global Championship 2026. With 240 PGS Points still on the table and the cutoff separating qualification from elimination razor-thin, everything remains to play for across PGS 10, PGS 11, and the Circuit Final at PGS 12.
PGS Circuit 4 Schedule: PGS 10, PGS 11 and PGS 12
Circuit 4 unfolds from October 14 through November 1, beginning with PGS 10 and concluding with PGS 12, the Circuit Final that closes the 12-event 2026 PUBG Global Series.
PGS 10 kicks off the circuit with its Group Stage on October 14, followed by the Winners Stage on October 15, Survival Stage on October 16, and Final Stage on October 17–18.
PGS 11 takes the stage next, featuring its Winners Stage on October 22, Survival Stage on October 23, and Final Stage on October 24–25.
PGS 12, the Circuit Final, holds its Survival Stage on October 29 and Grand Finals across October 30 through November 1. The top eight teams in the Circuit 4 PGS Points standings, based on PGS 10 and PGS 11, advance directly to the Grand Finals, while the remaining 16 teams compete in the Survival Stage for the remaining spots.
PGS Points Standings: The Race for the Top 8
After three circuits and nine PGS events, the race is tight. At the end of Circuit 3, Virtus.pro leads with 261 PGS Points, followed by Made in Thailand with 224 and 17Gaming with 223. T1 rounds out the top four with 208.
The battle intensifies around the qualification zone. Petrichor Road holds the eighth and final PGC spot with 152 points. Seventh-place Falcons sit just two points ahead at 154, while ninth-place Gen.G Esports, the PGS 9 winner, trail the cutoff by only seven points with 145. Circuit 4 is still to come, so these standings are far from the final picture.
How PGC 2026 Qualification and Seeding Work
The top eight teams in the final PGS Points standings, accumulated from PGS 1 through PGS 12, will qualify for PGC 2026. A team’s final ranking also determines where it starts its championship run.
The team finishing first in PGS Points advances directly to the PGC 2026 Grand Finals. The second-place team enters at Survival Stage Day 1. Teams finishing third through eighth begin in the Qualifying Stage. For teams already inside the top eight, Circuit 4 is therefore a fight for a better seed as well as a place.
240 PGS Points Still Up for Grabs
In both PGS 10 and PGS 11, the winner earns 60 PGS Points, with points awarded down through 16th place. At PGS 12, the points are doubled: the winner receives 120 and second place earns 96.
The maximum a single team can earn in Circuit 4 is 60 (PGS 10 win) + 60 (PGS 11 win) + 120 (PGS 12 win) = 240 points. Given the current gaps, there is plenty of room for the standings to change. Teams outside the top eight have one last chance to make their move, while those inside must defend their positions and chase a higher PGC seed.
PGS 10 Group Stage: Groups A, B and C
PGS 10 brings together 24 teams, divided into Groups A, B and C through snake seeding based on the final 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. Placement direction alternates from there across the PGS 9 standings.
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, GAM The Expendables, 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
Further updates will be provided if there are any changes to the tournament. The Group Stage on October 14 is the first test of Circuit 4, and every match counts in the race for one of eight PGC 2026 spots.
