PUBG Mobile heads back to Riyadh for EWC 2025

PUBG Mobile is back at the EWC 2025 from July 25th to August 3rd.

Twenty-four teams will compete.

The finale takes place between August 1st and 3rd.

While you're racing through Erangel in your Shelby, another epic showdown is unfolding in Riyadh as PUBG Mobile returns for the Esports World Cup this summer. From July 25th to August 3rd, 24 of the world’s best squads will clash for the ultimate crown and a portion of the $3 million prize pool.

With Alpha7 Esports riding high after their record-breaking performance in 2024, all eyes are on what’s sure to be another electrifying chapter in mobile battle royale esports. The tournament kicks off with a 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 will earn a spot in the final showdown, running from August 1st to 3rd. Only one team will claim the championship—and the bulk of the prize money.

Last year, Alpha7 Esports claimed the title in breathtaking fashion. The Brazilian squad didn’t just win—they shattered records, snagging five Chicken Dinners across the 18-match Grand Finals and earning an extra $25,000 bonus. Their total earnings surpassed $467,000, capping off a season for the ages.

Their path was defined by relentless consistency and overwhelming firepower. Alpha7 matched Team Liquid with 91 points in the Group Stage, securing an automatic berth in the Grand Finals. Once there, they finished in the top four in nearly half their matches, proving their dominance wasn’t luck—it was strategy and skill forged over time.

This year, the format stays the same, but the competition is more unpredictable than ever. You can also hone your skills by downloading PUBG Mobile for free today on your preferred link below. Visit the official Facebook page for more details.
