PGL has officially announced their circuit for 2025 and 2026, which will feature eleven tournaments spanning multiple diverse locations across the world. In line with the PGL’s goals of diversifying the esports landscape and promoting an inclusive community of gamers, the schedule will feature vibrant locales with budding esport communities such as Astana in Kazakhstan and Buenos Aires in Argentina.
PGL continues its commitment to expanding the reach of esports across the world through its event scheduling and host selection, as well as its collaboration with organizations such as FiReSPORTS and Perfect World to host events.
According to their Eleven-event schedule, PGL will be responsible for independently hosting six events, FiReSPORTS will take the reins for four events, and the last event will be hosted by Perfect World, continuing their already agreed-upon partnership.

With the release of the confirmed PGL schedule, 2025 is shaping up to be a very hectic and competitive year for eSports. It will be interesting to see how teams will cope with the bloated schedule, with some teams likely to miss out on some events to recharge mentally and physically. The number of events is also highlighted as the reason for the lack of open qualifiers with invitations for all PGL events to be issued based on global Valve Regional Standings (VRS).
Regardless, we as fans can only revel at the thought of getting to enjoy some of the best competitions esports have to offer, week in and week out, with this solid schedule that’s guaranteed to entertain.
