PUBG Mobile Africa Cup 2025 details announced

Attention, PUBG Mobile fans in Africa! There’s some big news I would love to share: The PUBG Mobile Africa Cup 2025 has been announced, with free-to-enter qualifiers across the continent. This means that for the first time ever, Sub-Saharan Africa players will have a direct path to the PUBG Mobile Global Championship (2025 PMGC)! Here’s what you need to know.

PUBG Mobile Africa Cup details

First and foremost, you should head into PUBG Mobile right now and register. Registrations are open from 26 June to 9 July 2025. Get your squads ready to compete and practice because this is a big one for all PUBG Mobile players in Africa.

Teams will compete online via the app in four different regions from 13 to 20 July 2025. A total of 48 teams will advance to the Group Stage of the PUBG Mobile Africa Cup 2025, with the following regional distribution:

• The top 16 teams from Eastern Africa
• The top 12 teams from Western Africa
• The top 12 teams from Southern Africa
• The top 8 teams from Central Africa

From here, teams will compete in a Group Stage, and the top 14 squads from the Group Stage (and two direct invites) will make their way to the finals, with a “climactic all-expense-paid Grand Final in Kenya in September 2025” up for grabs. The sponsor is Infinix, and there’s a huge prize pool of $8,000 to compete for. The team that ends up winning the event will also earn a covetted spot in the 2025 PMGC to represent the African region.

According to a Press Release I’ve received, the Head of PUBG Mobile publishing in Sub-Saharan Africa, said that:

We are so excited by the Africa Cup and we just can’t wait to see players from all over the continent drop into the zone and fight side by side with their squads for the title of Africa’s best. If you think you’re best, then it’s time to test yourself and show the rest of the continent the stuff you’re made of.

The long and short of it is this: If you happen to enjoy PUBG Mobile and have a squad to compete with, or just want to have some fun with friends, then you should give the PUBG Mobile Africa Cup 2025 a shot. It’s free to enter, and you could become a legend!
