Esports Nations Cup 2026 reveals latest rosters for PUBG: Battlegrounds, PUBG MOBILE, VALORANT, and Street
The Esports Foundation has pulled back the curtain on the inaugural Esports Nations Cup 2026, and as Arab News reports, the PUBG MOBILE bracket is where the Indian scene needs to be leaning in right now.
The weight of 124 jerseys
The PUBG: Battlegrounds side will send 80 national rosters into Riyadh, but it is PUBG MOBILE that carries the heavier number — 124 confirmed national rosters representing 124 countries and territories, with 32 teams set to advance to the ENC finals running from Nov. 2 to 29.
Turkiye rides in with almost 4,000 points of cushion at the top of the rankings, built around the ULF Esports duo Kecth and Scarface — runners-up at both the PUBG MOBILE Global Championship 2025 and the Global Open 2026. Pakistan's FALAK and IQ are stepping in fresh off 4Thrives Esports' PMGO 2026 win. Myanmar carries the Yangon Galacticos core that lifted the PUBG MOBILE World Cup at the Esports World Cup 2025.
And India — alongside the People's Republic of China, South Korea, and Japan — has been handed a special invite into the bracket. That is the door our players get to walk through.
What the adidas deal really signals
There is a second piece of the news, dropped separately: adidas is the official Kit Partner and Global Partner of ENC 2026. Per the Esports Foundation, more than 100 countries and territories will receive custom-designed national jerseys and tracksuits, with over 2,000 athletes and coaches competing across 16 of the world's biggest titles.
"This partnership will help create stronger connections between players, fans and national teams," Mohammed Al Nimer, Chief Commercial Officer at the Esports Foundation, said in the announcement. National jerseys are set to be revealed in the coming weeks.
It is the kind of measured momentum shift worth reading closely — the way patient observers read breakout signals before the crowd catches on. That same instinct for chart patterns, measured targets, and entry signals is what separates the early call from the late one.
The window that matters
The Indian PUBG MOBILE roster for the ENC wasn't named in this first reveal wave. What we know: with more than 700 national team coaches appointed across 100 countries, the selection window between now and November is where the actual squad will be carved out. For our players, the next cycle is the one to watch — not just who gets named, but how they are built to carry the jersey once it arrives.
