PUBG Esports has named the 10 teams that will included in its global partnership programme for the 2025 season.
The announcement comes two months after PUBG opened the application process.
The application process opened in December 2024 with esports organisations from across the world applying to be part of the initiative.
“After receiving numerous impressive applications, the PUBG Esports evaluation committee conducted an extensive assessment based on the previously announced criteria,” stated PUBG Esports in the announcement.
“We sincerely appreciate every team that applied and demonstrated such strong passion for our partner programme. The margins were razor-thin.”
PUBG Esports 2025 Partner Teams
The 10 partner teams for the 2025 PUBG Esports season are as follows:
- On Freecs
- Earena
- Four Angry Men
- Gen.G
- NAVI
- Petrichor Road
- Team Falcons
- The Expendables
- Twisted Minds
- 17Gaming
Compared to 2024, six esports organisations have maintained a place on the PUBG Esports partner programme. ON Freecs, Earena, Team Falcons and The Expendables are new additions. However, the likes of FaZe Clan, Soniqs, Daytrade Gaming and CERBERUS are no longer global partners.
The 10 partner teams will be guaranteed participation in PUBG Global Series events taking place in 2025.
The first event of the 2025 season is set to take place in April where 14 teams from the regional Phase 1 leagues will join the partner teams to compete for prize money and PGS Points, which determines seeding for future tournaments.
On February 19th, 2025, PUBG Esports opened sign-ups for its EMEA Championship and Americas Series where teams have the opportunity to qualify for the first PUBG Global Series event.
PUBG has managed to cement its place as one of the top battle royale esports titles along with the mobile version of the game.
Alongside the PUBG Global Series and regional leagues, the game is one of several games hosting tournaments at the Esports World Cup, a multi-title event taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
