The PUBG Mobile new season date is getting closer as players prepare for the start of Season 32 following the Version 4.6 Midnight Hunters update. The new season will reset the ranked journey and introduce another set of rank rewards for players climbing from Platinum all the way to Conqueror. PUBG Mobile has also prepared new rewards for Ace, Ace Master, and Ace Dominator players, while Ultimate Royale will begin separately later in the month. Here is everything you need to know about the PUBG Mobile S32 release date, expected time in India, rewards, and more.
PUBG Mobile New Season Date and Time
The PUBG Mobile S32 Classic Season will begin on September 12, 2026. The Casual Season will also start on the same date.
According to the Version 4.6 update schedule, the new season is listed to start at 2:00 UTC, which converts to 7:30 AM IST. PUBG Mobile’s official Version 4.6 announcement confirms the Season 32 schedule.
For Indian players waiting early in the morning, it is worth checking the game from around 5:30 AM to 7:00 AM IST, as season-related changes and preparations may start appearing around this period. However, the listed start time converts to 7:30 AM IST, so players should treat that as the main scheduled time rather than 5:30–7:00 AM.
PUBG Mobile S32 schedule:
| Season | Date | Time in India |
|---|---|---|
| S32 Classic Season | September 12, 2026 | 7:30 AM IST |
| S32 Casual Season | September 12, 2026 | 7:30 AM IST |
| S32 Ultimate Royale | September 21, 2026 | 7:30 AM IST |
Players should also remember that the new season is separate from the PUBG Mobile 4.6 update itself. Version 4.6 arrived first, while the ranked season begins a few days later.

Metro Royale Chapter 34 Starts Before S32
Metro Royale players do not have to wait until September 12.
Metro Royale Chapter 34 begins on September 10, 2026 and continues until November 9.
The new chapter is connected to Version 4.6’s vampire theme. Some buildings in Arctic Base are replaced by Vampire Bases, where players can fight vampire PvE enemies and find Scream Crates containing potentially valuable sellable items.
Golden Bat Statues will also appear at selected locations. Players can activate these statues and try to defeat the Golden Bat within the time limit for a chance to receive high-value items.
PUBG Mobile New Season S32 Release Date
To sum it up, the PUBG Mobile new season date is September 12, 2026 for both the S32 Classic and Casual seasons.
The listed starting time is 2:00 AM UTC, which is 7:30 AM IST. Indian players searching early in the morning can start checking for season changes around 5:30–7:00 AM IST, but the scheduled conversion points to 7:30 AM IST as the main S32 start time.
