In an exciting development for the esports community, PGL has revealed plans to host the second Counter-Strike 2 Major of 2026 in Singapore. This marks a significant moment as the tournament lands in Southeast Asia for the first time, showcasing the game’s global expansion. The PGL Singapore Major 2026 is scheduled from November 25th to December 13th, concluding the competitive season for Valve’s famed first-person shooter.
The Singapore Indoor Stadium will host the final four days of this prestigious event. This venue has previously been the site for several memorable esports events, further cementing Singapore’s reputation as a central hub for competitive gaming.
Major Milestone for PGL
PGL continues to build on its legacy with the Singapore Major, marking the fifth time the organiser has hosted such an event. Previous Majors were held in cities like Stockholm, Antwerp, and Copenhagen between 2021 and 2024. PGL’s CEO, Silviu Stroie, expressed enthusiasm about bringing a Major to Singapore, highlighting the city’s vibrant energy and dedicated fanbase as key factors in the decision.
Singapore And Esports
Singapore has increasingly become a hotspot for esports events throughout 2025. In addition to the Counter-Strike Major, the city hosted the BLAST Slam IV Dota 2 tournament at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. The nation is also making strides in officially recognizing esports as a sport, as evidenced by the proposal of the Singapore Sports Council (Amendment) Bill 2025.
With Singapore bolstering its status in the esports arena and PGL’s proven track record in organising high-profile tournaments, the Singapore Major 2026 promises to be an event to remember. As the community eagerly anticipates this tournament, fans worldwide are set to witness the top 32 teams from the Valve Regional Standings battling it out for a $1.25 million prize pool and the esteemed title of Counter-Strike champions.
