PMWL schedule, revamped Finals format, teams, prize pool details

PUBG Mobile World League Season Zero was set to kick off on Friday, July 10. However, due to a technical glitch in the game on iOS, the opening day was postponed to July 11, 2020. Initially, the first stage of PMWL 2020 was supposed to be played over a span of three days, 15 matches in total. Since the commencement was delayed by a day, a new PMWL schedule was released by the organisers which reduced the Opening Weekend to two days with 10 matches in total.

The PMWL schedule is divided into four stages - Opening Weekend, League Stage, Super Weekend and The Finals. The Opening Weekend concluded on Sunday. While the Opening Weekend will not play a significant part in the tournament going forward, the seeding during the weekend will determine the group stages for the League Stage.
