PGL revealed that the second Major of 2026 will be played between November 25 and December 13. The tournament will feature a prize pool of $1,250,000.
The 32 participating teams will compete across three stages (Stages 1, 2, and 3). The playoff matches will take place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, which has a capacity of 12,000, and the champion will be crowned after a Bo5 (Best-of-Five) grand final.
This tournament also holds great significance for the Asian region. By hosting this event in Singapore, PGL is bringing a Major to Southeast Asia for the first time.
Jean Ng, Assistant Chief Executive of the Singapore Tourism Board, stated the following:
Singapore has been host to exciting esports events such as The International, the largest DOTA 2 esports event in the world. We look forward with much anticipation to hosting our first Counter-Strike Major in 2026, which will reinforce Singapore as a world-class events destination.
“As one of the most prestigious tournaments in the Counter-Strike scene, the event promises to attract fans from around the region, and we invite them to also enjoy Singapore’s lifestyle experiences and vibrant energy.
