India is set for a massive year in PUBG Mobile esports, with up to 5 international slots confirmed across the biggest global tournaments in 2026, as we already predicted in our video. PUBG Mobile has officially confirmed 2 slots for India at the PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) 2026, while 3 more slots are expected for the PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) 2026.
These developments significantly increase India’s presence on the global PUBG Mobile stage and give Indian teams more chances to compete against the world’s best.
PUBG Mobile Confirms 2 Slots for India at PMWC 2026
PUBG Mobile has officially confirmed that India will get 2 slots at the PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) 2026, which will be held as part of the Esports World Cup 2026.
Earlier, Krafton India had announced only 1 PMWC slot for India in its 2026 esports roadmap, with qualification planned through the BGMI Pro Series (BMPS) 2026. However, the latest confirmation from PUBG Mobile has increased India’s allocation to two teams for PMWC 2026.
This is a major boost for Indian squads, as PMWC is one of the most prestigious international PUBG Mobile tournaments.
India gets 3 Slots at PMGC 2026
Along with PMWC, India is also expected to receive 3 slots at the PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) 2026, similar to last year’s structure.
Out of these three slots:
- 1 PMGC slot is already confirmed for India through BMSD 2026 (Battlegrounds Mobile South Asia)
- 2 additional PMGC slots are possible via BMIC 2026
However, these two BMIC slots will not be easy to secure.
Tough Challenge Awaiting Indian Teams at BMIC 2026
To qualify for the remaining 2 PMGC 2026 slots, Indian teams will need to compete in BMIC 2026, where they are expected to face strong teams from Korea and Japan.
This makes BMIC 2026 a crucial and highly competitive event. Only the best-performing teams will be able to secure a spot at PMGC 2026 and represent India on the global stage.
Qualification Schedule and Slot Breakdown for India (2026)
Here is a simple breakdown of how India’s 5 international slots are distributed:
PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) 2026
