PMGC 2024 Dates and Format

• Group Stage

Set to commence on October 31st, the PMGC will feature 48+1 teams that will be competing for the prize pool. The qualified 48 teams will first compete in the group stages from October 31 to November 17. Teams will be divided into three groups, with the top three from each group moving directly into the Grand Finals.

• Survival Stage

The bottom five from the group stage will be returning home, while the remaining teams will have to compete in the Survival Stage. Matches will take place across three days starting November 20th

All teams will be divided into three groups of eight, but as the name suggests, the teams competing are still not safe. This time the bottom eight will return home while the remaining teams will once again face off in the Last Chance.

• Last Chance

Those who survived the previous stage will finally get a chance to enter the grand finals, as the Last Chance will see the top 6 teams move to the Grand Finals. The matches will take place across two days starting November 23 as the teams struggle to avoid elimination.

• Grand Finals

All that struggle will lead the six teams from Last Chance to join the directly invited regional host and the nine teams from the Group Stage. Set to take place in London, United Kingdom across three days, the PMGC 2024 Grand Finals will commence on December 6.

Competing teams at PMGC 2024

Prior to IHC Esports being named as the invited teams, BGMI fans were speculating that this year, Team XSpark might see that invite. This is due to their incredible performance in the BGIS 2024 and BMPS 2024 tournaments, both of which were hosted by Krafton India.

By securing the top spot across both tournaments, Team XSpark became the first team to do so. However, fans were left waiting as no BGMI teams were selected to represent India during one of the biggest PUBG Mobile tournaments.
