Congratulations to the 12 selected teams—they will be the protagonists delivering the most stories and emotions to fans throughout the 2026 season.
What Benefits Do Global Partner Teams Receive?
Global Partner Teams receive the following benefits:
Guaranteed entry to all PGS series—4 Global Circuits per year, 12 total series
Exclusive Team Edition skin releases with revenue sharing
Annual team support funding to help prepare for the season with stability
Through this support:
Teams can focus on long-term roster management and strategic preparation
Fans can enjoy a continuous narrative with familiar teams appearing consistently throughout the season
Our collaboration with Global Partner Teams goes beyond providing a single season's participation rights—it's a long-term partnership aimed at growing together over multiple seasons.
A Structure Open to Challengers
Of course, the 2026 season isn't structured for Partner Teams alone to compete on the global stage.
Teams with strong Regional Series performances will have opportunities to join PGS
The path to PGC remains open to all teams through PGS and Regional Series results
With Partner Teams providing season-long stability while challenger teams can threaten their position at any time, the 2026 season aims to build a healthy ecosystem where coexistence and competition thrive together.
In other words:
"Even fans and players watching from the sidelines today could be the teams challenging on this stage tomorrow."
Keeping that path open is at the heart of the 2026 roadmap and the Partner Program.
Looking Forward to the Journey Ahead
The 2026 Global Partner Teams are a crucial pillar of the mid-to-long-term roadmap that PUBG Esports will build over the coming years.
We hope to deliver:
For fans: Season-long storylines and rivalries to follow
For teams and players: More opportunities and stable support
For aspiring challenger teams: A clear goal—the knowledge that they too can reach this stage someday
We invite all fans to support and cheer on the 12 Global Partner Teams as we build the 2026 season together.
Thank you.
