PUBG PC esports 2027: India gets its own region

PUBG Esports, KRAFTON's official competition for PUBG: Battlegrounds on PC, announced on 28 October 2026 that India will join as a new competitive region in 2027.

This is separate from BGMI, the mobile game. BGMI keeps its own KRAFTON India events, such as BGIS, BMPS, BMSD and BMIC.

What changes in 2027

• EMEA splits into Europe, Eurasia and MENA, and the Americas into North America and South America. India joins as a new region.
• Each region runs a Regional League, and its results decide which teams play the PUBG Global Series (PGS).
• The year has four Phases. Each is a Regional League followed by a PGS event, and a place in one Phase does not carry over to the next.
• The region of the previous PGS champion gets one extra seed at the next PGS.
• Global Partner Teams lose their guaranteed places, so every team must qualify through its Regional League.
• PUBG Esports Points replace the old PGC and PGS points. They come only from PGS results and count toward PUBG Global Championship qualification.

The 2027 schedule

PUBG Esports says these dates may change:

• Phase 1: late March to early May.
• Phase 2: mid May to mid June.
• PUBG Nations Cup: early July.
• Phase 3: early August to mid September.
• Phase 4: late September to early November.
• PUBG Global Championship: late November to early December.

What is not known yet

PUBG Esports has not yet published the India Regional League's format, dates, number of PGS places or how teams enter. It says these details, and the new points system, will come in later announcements.

Where the 2026 season stands

The 2026 PUBG Global Championship runs from 1 to 13 December, with early stages in Shanghai and the Grand Finals in Istanbul. Its 32 teams came through PGS points, the existing regional leagues and a host-country wildcard. India had no region of its own in 2026.
