Esports tournament organiser PGL is stepping up its game for the 2026 season by partnering with gaming furniture giant Secretlab. This collaboration promises to enhance the competitive environment for players, ensuring they have access to top-notch setups that mirror their practice conditions throughout the year.
Enhancing Player Experience
As a key part of this partnership, Secretlab will outfit both on-stage and practice areas across all PGL tournaments over the next 12 months. The goal is to offer players consistency in their environments, allowing them to concentrate on performance without concerns about equipment variability. Secretlab’s On-Stage Standard collection, which debuted this year, will be pivotal in achieving this goal by providing items that recreate practice setups at tournament venues.
“This partnership is about creating the best possible environment for everyone involved in our events,” said Silviu Stroie, CEO of PGL. “Players spend countless hours practising and competing, and having equipment that supports them makes a real difference.”
Secretlab joins 1xBet as a partner for PGL’s 2026 season. Earlier this year, 1xBet became the exclusive betting partner for PGL’s Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2 events through 2026.
PGL in 2026
PGL is cementing its status as a leading tournament organiser with a packed 2026 schedule. It will host four Tier 1 Counter-Strike 2 tournaments from February to October, kicking off with PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026. Furthermore, the second Major of the year is set to take place in Singapore from November 25th to December 13th.
In response to scheduling conflicts with other major events, PGL made strategic changes to its 2026 CS2 calendar in November. Beyond Counter-Strike, PGL remains committed to Dota 2, with three tournaments planned for March, April, and November, as part of its ongoing dedication to Valve’s MOBA title through 2028.
