PUBG Mobile's Esports World Cup 2025 in Riyadh

• PUBG Mobile makes its return to the Esports World Cup from July 25th to August 3rd, 2025
• 24 elite teams will compete for the championship
• The Grand Finals are scheduled for August 1st through 3rd

While you're cruising through Erangel in your favorite Shelby, another intense competition is forming in Riyadh as PUBG Mobile rejoins the Esports World Cup this summer. From July 25th to August 3rd, 24 of the world's finest squads will compete for the ultimate title and a piece of the $3 million prize pool. 

With Alpha7 Esports coming off a record-breaking performance in 2024, anticipation is high for what should be another exciting chapter in mobile battle royale esports. The event kicks off with the Group Stage from July 25th to 27th, where teams are divided into three groups of eight. 

The top eight teams advance directly to the Grand Finals, while the remaining sixteen enter the Survival Stage. From there, eight more squads will earn their spot in the final showdown, running from August 1st to 3rd. Only one team will emerge as champion and claim the majority of the prize money.

Last year's event saw Alpha7 Esports claim victory in spectacular fashion. The Brazilian team didn't just win—they set new records, securing five Chicken Dinners during the 18-match Grand Finals and earning an extra $25,000 bonus. That brought their total winnings to over $467,000, completing a truly defining season.

Their path to victory was defined by remarkable consistency and pure firepower. Alpha7 finished tied with Team Liquid at 91 points in the Group Stage, securing a direct berth to the Grand Finals. Once there, they placed in the top four in almost half of their matches, demonstrating that their success was no fluke—they were built for sustained excellence.

This year, the competition format stays the same, but the outcome is completely unpredictable. You can also hone your skills by downloading PUBG Mobile for free using your preferred link below. Visit the official Facebook page for additional details.
