[p][/p][p]The 2026 PUBG Esports season is here. For the first time, PUBG Global Series (PGS) introduces a Circuit format — three series linked together as one circuit, where three consecutive weeks of competition tell a single, connected story.[/p][p]The first circuit, PGS 1–3, takes place in Seongsu, Seoul, South Korea and will be held without a live audience, bringing together 24 teams from around the world for three weeks of intense competition.[/p][p]Here's everything you need to know about the very first PUBG Global Series Circuit.[/p][p][/p][h2]What's New in 2026?[/h2][p]Previously, PGS events operated as individual, standalone tournaments. Starting in 2026, three series are connected as a single circuit — a three-week competition structure where results accumulate and carry forward.[/p]

• [p]Series 1 (Week 1): All 24 teams start from zero, competing through multiple stages to establish the opening standings.[/p]
• [p]Series 2 (Week 2): Teams are seeded based on Series 1 results, with another opportunity to climb — or fall — in the rankings.[/p]
• [p]Series Final (Week 3): The peak of the circuit. Two weeks of accumulated results become decisive as 16 teams battle for the Circuit Championship in the Grand Finals.[/p]

[p]The 2026 season consists of 4 Circuits (12 series total), and this circuit is where it all begins.[/p][h2]Circuit 1 Schedule[/h2][p][/p]
