PGL Major Singapore 2026.
The second Counter-Strike 2 Major of 2026, and the first ever held in Southeast Asia. Thirty-two teams play in Singapore from November 24 to December 13 for a $1,250,000 prize pool, and the playoffs close the show at Singapore Indoor Stadium. We preview every lined match of the Major here.
The schedule
Stage 1, November 24-27. Sixteen invited teams play a Swiss stage: best of one matches, with progression and elimination matches played best of three. The top eight advance.
Stage 2, November 28 to December 1. The eight Stage 1 survivors join eight direct invitees in a second Swiss stage, same format. The top eight advance again.
Stage 3, early December. The final Swiss stage, and the format tightens: every match is a best of three, no best of ones at all. The top eight reach the playoffs.
Playoffs, December 10-13, Singapore Indoor Stadium. Single elimination. Quarterfinals and semifinals are best of three, the grand final is a best of five, and the final day opens with a best of three 3rd-place decider, the first in Major history.
Map pool: Cache, Dust2, Mirage, Inferno, Nuke, Ancient, Anubis.
How the field is set
There are no open qualifiers and no RMRs for this Major. All 32 teams are invited from the Valve Regional Standings, and the snapshot that decides the invites is November 2, 2026. Sixteen teams start in Stage 1, eight are invited directly to Stage 2, and eight directly to Stage 3. Until PGL publishes the invite list off that snapshot, no team is officially in the field, whatever the projections say, so this page lists no teams yet. The field locks in early November, and the first fixtures follow from it.
Match previews
Match previews will appear here as soon as the first fixtures and Pinnacle lines post, after the November 2 invite list sets the field. Every lined match of the Major gets a full preview with a pick, the same as our other CS2 coverage.
How we cover it
Every lined match of the Major gets a full preview with a pick in our CS2 section, priced off Pinnacle and published before the match starts. The map handicap does much of the work at a Major, where favorites are short and sweeps are the real question; our explainer walks through what those bets actually ask.
