MANILA, Philippines (Sept. 2026) – Pinoy squad leaders can now lead their teams to international esports glory as the Call of Duty: Mobile Garena Battle Royale Cup 2026 lands in Manila with a $40,000 (approx. PHP 2,260,000) prize pool.
The inaugural tournament marks Garena’s first Battle Royale Major dedicated to the mobile shooter’s popular game mode. The offline Grand Finals will take place in Manila from Nov. 7 to Nov. 8, bringing together 10 elite teams from across the region.
How to join the tournament
Open registration is now live for players in the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia. Gamers can form squads of four to five players and sign up through the official Call of Duty: Mobile Registration Form. Registrations close at 11:59 p.m. GMT+8 on Sept. 21.
The tournament structure follows five competitive stages:
- Registration (Sept. 8 to Sept. 21): Squads of four to five players register online before the deadline.
- Qualifiers (Sept. 26 to Oct. 4): Teams enter a single-elimination bracket playing one round per map.
- Group Stage (Oct. 10 to Oct. 11): A total of 40 teams will be split into four groups of 10, with the top five teams from each group moving on.

- Grand Finals (Nov. 7 to Nov. 8): The final 10 squads will clash in Manila across up to 12 maps using the new EndGame Protocol. Under this format, teams must cross a designated points threshold before winning a map to claim the championship.
The road to the Manila Grand Finals
