LONDON, 16th January 2025 - PUBG MOBILE Esports is excited to announce that the 2025 PUBG MOBILE Global Open (PMGO), the first international tournament in this year’s competitive circuit, is now open for registration until February 9th. The 2025 PMGO will see rising stars in the amateur scene battle it out across several weeks of high-stakes action, culminating in the Main Event at Tashkent, Uzbekistan, from April 12-13. Teams from across the globe will compete in a multi-stage competition, spanning multiple weeks, to secure the lion’s share of the incredible $500,000 prize pool and to take the 2025 PMGO title.

From January 16th - February 9th, players all around the world can register to participate in the 2025 PMGO, where they will test their mettle in a series of Open Qualifiers. Open only to amateur players, this stage will exclude players from 2024 and 2025 regional leagues, remaining true to PUBG MOBILE’s commitment of growing grassroots esports. Each team must have at least four players and can choose to register with one of five servers: Asia, Middle East, Europe, South America, and North America. Additionally, teams with at least one player from the Ultimate 500 in Cycle 7 Season 20 and 21 will automatically qualify for Round 2 of the Open Qualifiers.

The 2025 PMGO will unfold through a dynamic multi-stage tournament, first starting with the Open Qualifiers, which will run online across three rounds. Round one will take place from February 13th-16th, with the top 128 on each server advancing to round two. This second round kicks off from February 20th-23rd, with just the top 16 from each server advancing to the final round. Concluding the Open Qualifiers, from March 1st-2nd, the top 12 performing teams from each region will then progress to the PMGO Prelims, joining teams placed 2nd to 5th from the 2025 PMGO Uzbekistan Offline Qualifiers.

Turning up the heat, April 10th-11th will see these 16 fiery teams lock horns in the 2025 PMGO Prelims. This action-packed stage consists of six matches per day, as teams dig in and fight to take one of the seven coveted qualifying slots for the 2025 PMGO Main Event. These top seven teams will form part of the 16 heading to the 2025 PMGO Main Event between April 12th-13th, joined by the winners of the 2025 PMGO Uzbekistan Offline Qualifiers, alongside eight invited teams across a range of PUBG MOBILE Esports events.
