ULF Esports Qualifies for PMGC 2026 Grand Finals

Turkey’s ULF Esports has secured a direct place in the Grand Finals of the PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) 2026 after winning the PUBG Mobile Rising Stars 2026. The Turkish squad delivered an impressive performance in the two-day competition to claim the available qualification spot for the championship’s final stage.

The PMGC 2026 will take place in Turkey during November and December, with the Grand Finals scheduled for December 11 to 13 in Istanbul. As the host nation, Turkey received a direct Grand Finals qualification spot, which ULF secured through its victory at Rising Stars.

A total of 39 squads are expected to compete in the global championship. So far, 37 teams have confirmed their places, while the remaining two qualification spots will be decided through the BGMI International Cup 2026, currently taking place in Mumbai, India.

Level Infinite and Krafton have not yet revealed the complete format for the PMGC 2026, leaving teams and fans waiting for further details about the tournament structure.

ULF Esports Wins Rising Stars 2026 to Qualify for PMGC Grand Finals

The PUBG Mobile Rising Stars 2026 Finals took place on October 29 and 30, featuring 16 Turkish teams competing across 12 matches. With one direct place in the PMGC 2026 Grand Finals available, the tournament provided an important opportunity for the participating squads.

ULF Esports emerged as the strongest team, producing a dominant performance across the two days. The squad collected 152 points, including 102 eliminations and three Chicken Dinners, finishing comfortably ahead of its closest competitors.

The victory confirmed ULF’s qualification for the PMGC 2026 Grand Finals, where the Turkish team will compete against some of the strongest PUBG Mobile squads from around the world.

Its combination of eliminations and match victories proved decisive. ULF maintained consistency throughout the competition and finished at the top of the standings to claim the biggest reward available at Rising Stars.

Rising Stars 2026 Final Standings: BUF Finishes Second

BUF Esports finished second in the Rising Stars 2026 standings with 127 points and two Chicken Dinners. Although the team produced a competitive performance, it could not match ULF’s overall points total.

Gaming Stars secured third place with 96 points and one Chicken Dinner, narrowly finishing ahead of Selibon Esports. Selibon collected 95 points and also recorded one Chicken Dinner to take fourth position.

BRX MSM Esports ended the tournament in fifth place with 85 points and two Chicken Dinners. Black Esports followed in sixth position with 77 points and one Chicken Dinner.

Black Esports also secured a place in the PMGC 2026 Group Stage through the Rising Stars competition. BUF, Gaming Stars and Selibon had already qualified for the Global Championship Group Stage through the Turkey Annual Points they accumulated.

The results meant that the competition offered different rewards to teams depending on their previous qualification status, with ULF earning the direct Grand Finals place through its overall victory.

Regnum Carya Esports and S2G Esports Struggle at Rising Stars

Kara Esports finished seventh with 77 points, matching Black Esports’ total but placing below them in the final standings. Popular Turkish organisation Regnum Carya Esports had a relatively disappointing tournament, ending the competition in eighth place with 75 points.

IDA and BRA Esports occupied ninth and 10th positions, collecting 71 and 63 points respectively. Both teams struggled to challenge the leading squads during the two-day event.

S2G Esports also endured a difficult competition, finishing 11th with 60 points. However, the team’s overall result did not affect its existing qualification position, as S2G had already secured a place in the PMGC 2026 Gauntlet Stage through its Turkey Annual Points.

FUT finished 12th with 58 points and one Chicken Dinner. Team Jezzy and BBR Esports both collected 36 points, while Luzy and Phoenix occupied the final two positions with 24 and 19 points respectively.

PMGC 2026: 37 Teams Confirmed as BGMI International Cup Decides Final Spots

The PMGC 2026 is expected to feature 39 squads representing different regions of the PUBG Mobile esports ecosystem. With 37 teams already confirmed, the remaining two places will be determined through the BGMI International Cup 2026.

The competition is currently underway in Mumbai, India, and will provide the final qualification opportunities for teams hoping to join the global championship lineup.

The tournament will bring together squads from across the international PUBG Mobile scene, with the Grand Finals representing the final stage of the competition. ULF Esports will now prepare for the opportunity to compete on home soil against the world’s leading teams.

However, the full PMGC 2026 format has not yet been announced by Level Infinite and Krafton. Further information about the tournament stages, match structure and participating teams is expected once the organisers release additional details.

Turkey Prepares to Host PMGC 2026 Grand Finals in Istanbul

Turkey will host the PMGC 2026 during November and December, making the championship a major event for the country’s PUBG Mobile esports community. The Grand Finals are scheduled to take place in Istanbul from December 11 to 13.

The host nation received a direct place in the final stage, creating an additional opportunity for Turkish teams to compete for a position among the world’s best. ULF Esports made the most of that opportunity by winning Rising Stars 2026.

For ULF, the qualification marks an important achievement and gives the organisation a chance to represent Turkey in front of its home audience. The team’s 152-point performance demonstrated its strength in the domestic competition, but the challenge will become considerably tougher against international opponents.

With 37 teams already confirmed and two more places still to be decided, attention will now turn to the remaining qualification battle and the organisers’ announcement of the complete PMGC 2026 format. ULF Esports, meanwhile, can begin preparing for its Grand Finals campaign in Istanbul.
