PMGO 2025 Main Event Day 1: Teams, schedule, and how to watch 

Day 1 of the PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) 2025 kicks off on April 12. This stage will follow the Smash Rule format, where all 16 participating teams must first reach a predetermined point threshold (80). Once a team surpasses this target, the first squad to secure a Chicken Dinner will be crowned the tournament winner. If a team bags the required points but fails to register a victory, the winner will be determined based on the overall standings.

The Main Event will feature a total of 12 matches. The lineup includes the top seven teams from the Prelims, the winner of the Uzbekistan Final, and eight directly invited squads. The competition has a prize pool of $409,000.
