Hello, PUBG Esports fans!
The final stretch of the 2026 PUBG Global Series is approaching: PGS Circuit 4. With PGS 10, PGS 11, and the Circuit Final, PGS 12, the three remaining tournaments will bring this year’s 12-event PUBG Global Series to a close.
Circuit 4 is more than just the final circuit of the season. With the conclusion of PGS 12, the final PGS Points standings for the 2026 season will be determined, deciding the eight teams that will advance to PUBG Global Championship 2026.
After three circuits of competition, the race for PGC is beginning to take shape—but nothing has been decided yet. With PGS 10, PGS 11, and double points on the line at PGS 12, there are still 240 PGS Points up for grabs.
Which teams will earn their way to PGC 2026 through PGS Points? Let’s take a closer look at Circuit 4, the final competition of the 2026 PGS season.
PGS Circuit 4 Schedule
PGS Circuit 4 will take place from October 14 to November 1.
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
As the Circuit Final, PGS 12 will see the top eight teams in the Circuit 4 PGS Points standings advance directly to the Grand Finals based on the points accumulated through PGS 10 and PGS 11. The remaining 16 teams will compete in the Survival Stage for the remaining spots in the Grand Finals.
When PGS 12 comes to an end, it will mark not only the conclusion of Circuit 4, but also the end of the 2026 season-long PGS Points race spanning PGS 1 through PGS 12.
PGS Points Standings
With three circuits and nine PGS events now complete, the battle for PGS Points is more intense than ever.
At the conclusion of Circuit 3, Virtus.pro leads the standings with 261 points, followed by Made in Thailand with 224 points, 17Gaming with 223 points, and T1 with 208 points.
Currently occupying the final PGC qualification spot is Petrichor Road in eighth place with 152 points.
But the gaps around the cutoff remain narrow. Seventh-place Falcons sit just two points ahead at 154, while ninth-place Gen.G Esports trail the current PGC qualification line by only seven points with 145.
Most importantly, Circuit 4 is still to come. The current standings are far from the final picture of who will advance to PGC.
PGC 2026 Qualification & PGS Points
The top eight teams in the final PGS Points standings, accumulated across PGS 1 through PGS 12 during the 2026 season, will qualify for PGC 2026.
And the final standings determine more than just qualification. The higher a team finishes in the PGS Points standings, the later the stage from which they will begin their PGC 2026 journey.
The team finishing 1st in PGS Points will advance directly to the PGC 2026 Grand Finals. The 2nd-place team will enter at Survival Stage Day 1, while the teams finishing 3rd through 8th will begin their journey in the Qualifying Stage.
This means Circuit 4 is about more than simply breaking into the Top 8. For teams already inside the qualification zone, the battle will continue until the very end as they fight for a higher PGS Points ranking and a more advantageous PGC seed.
240 PGS Points Are Still Up for Grabs
In both PGS 10 and PGS 11, the winner will earn 60 PGS Points, with points awarded down through 16th place.
At the Circuit Final, PGS 12, the points will be doubled. The winner will earn 120 points, with 96 points going to second place, and double the PGS 10 and PGS 11 point values applied throughout the standings.
That means the maximum number of points a single team can earn in Circuit 4 is:
60 points (PGS 10 1st) + 60 points (PGS 11 1st) + 120 points (PGS 12 1st) = 240 points.
Considering the current gaps both inside and outside the PGC qualification zone, the three remaining tournaments leave plenty of room for the final standings to change.
For teams outside the Top 8, Circuit 4 represents one final opportunity to make their move. For those already inside, it will be the final test to defend their position and secure a higher PGC seed.
PGS 10 Groups
And it all begins with PGS 10.
The Group Stage groups have been confirmed for the 24 teams competing in PGS 10. The teams have been divided into Groups A, B, and C through a snake seeding format based on the final results of PGS 9.
PGS 9 winner Gen.G Esports has been placed in Group A, second-place T1 in Group B, and third-place Falcons in Group C. From there, the direction of placement alternates according to the PGS 9 standings, distributing all 24 teams across the three groups.
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
[Updated: October 12]
Following GAM The Expendables’ withdrawal from PGS Circuit 4, Team Flash has been selected as the replacement team based on its placement in PVS Phase 1, in accordance with the existing team qualification criteria.
※ Further updates will be provided if there are any changes to the tournament.
The Final Step to PGC
The 2026 PUBG Global Series journey that began with PGS 1 now has just three tournaments remaining.
There is still everything to play for after Circuit 3. With 60 points available at each of PGS 10 and PGS 11, followed by 120 points at PGS 12, a total of 240 points remain on the table—and a single strong finish could reshape the race to PGC.
Which teams will finish inside the final Top 8 and earn their place at PGC 2026? And which team will rise to the very top of the standings to secure a direct seed to the PGC Grand Finals?
