PGL Masters Bucharest 2026 begins with 16 teams competing for $1.25 million

PGL Masters Bucharest 2026 gets under way in Romania’s capital on October 24. Sixteen teams will compete on LAN across eight days for a total pool of $1.25 million.

Eight days of Counter-Strike 2

PGL’s official event page confirms that the tournament runs from October 24 through October 31. The matches will be played in a studio LAN environment, with the full competition spanning eight days.

The field contains 16 teams, while the total winnings amount to $1.25 million. That scale makes Bucharest one of the notable events in the closing stretch of the season.

A test before the next Major

The event ends shortly before the next important phase of the PGL Major Singapore cycle. Bucharest therefore provides a timely look at the participants’ form at a particularly consequential point of the year.
