To be updated
Here are the 24 teams set to compete in PUBG EWC 2026:
The tournament follows a traditional battle royale format, focusing on placement points, eliminations, and overall consistency across matches. In the Group Stage, the 24 teams are divided into three groups of eight, engaging in cross-group round-robin matches, with each team playing a total of 12 matches. The top 16 teams will progress to the Grand Finals, while the bottom eight will be eliminated.
The Grand Finals will unfold over three days, featuring 16 teams and 18 matches. A Smash Rule will be in effect on Day 3 of the finals, meaning the tournament can conclude as soon as a match-point eligible team secures a Chicken Dinner. If no such team wins by the end of the finals, the championship will go to the team with the highest total points.
