Call of Duty: Mobile Garena Battle Royale Cup 2026 Set for Manila

Garena announced the Call of Duty: Mobile Garena Battle Royale Cup 2026, a $40,000 tournament that will culminate with offline Grand Finals in Manila on Nov. 7–8. The competition focuses exclusively on Call of Duty: Mobile’s battle royale mode and will apply a new EndGame Protocol during the Grand Finals.

The Manila finals will feature 10 teams. Seven slots are reserved for teams from Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. One team each will represent Indonesia and Thailand, and a single slot will be allocated to a team representing Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.

Teams from Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines may register squads of four to five players through Sept. 21. Open qualifiers run Sept. 26 to Oct. 4 in a single-elimination format, with each round played on a single map. Forty teams will advance to a Group Stage on Oct. 10–11, where they will be divided into four groups of 10 and the top five teams in each group will move on.

Twenty teams will contest the Playoffs on Oct. 17–18 across eight maps. The seven highest-ranked teams from that stage will qualify for the Manila Grand Finals and will join the three regional representatives to complete the 10-team field. The Grand Finals are scheduled across up to 12 maps over two days and will use the EndGame Protocol for the tournament’s closing phases.

The Manila event follows the Garena Summer Invitational held in the Philippines in May and is the second offline regional Garena Call of Duty: Mobile tournament hosted in the country in 2026. The competition provides a direct route from open qualifiers to a regional major and the $40,000 prize pool for teams in the participating countries.
