PUBG Nations Cup 2026 is set to take place in Seoul from June 23 to June 28, bringing together 24 all-star teams for one of the biggest events on the PUBG Esports calendar. To sweeten the deal for viewers, KRAFTON has confirmed a Drops campaign running alongside the Grand Finals broadcast, giving fans the chance to earn exclusive in-game cosmetics just for tuning in.
PUBG Nations Cup drops
The Drops event covers the Grand Finals broadcasts from June 26 to June 28, with matches kicking off at 10:00 UTC each day. Viewers will need to watch via Twitch or Kick to be eligible, with rewards scaling depending on how long you stick around.
On Day 1, watching for 15 minutes nets a PNC 2026 Victory spray, while 30 minutes unlocks the PNC 2026 Logo emblem. Day 2 follows a similar structure, swapping the Victory spray for a Home Run spray at the 15 minute mark, with the Logo emblem again available at 30 minutes.
Day 3 is where things ramp up. Watching for 15 minutes gets you the Victory spray, 30 minutes the Home Run spray, 60 minutes the Logo emblem, and a full 90 minutes of viewing rewards fans with a PNC 2026 Jacket.
A few things worth noting before you settle in for the broadcasts. Drops are only available through the designated platforms, Twitch and Kick, and rewards won’t be granted once the Drops period for each segment closes. You’ll also need a KRAFTON ID linked to both your game platform account and your streaming account to actually claim anything, so it’s worth sorting that out ahead of time. Each account can only claim Drops rewards once, and console players will need to grab their rewards through Twitch, Kick, or Chzzk Drops, with items becoming available after the next live update.
Campaign specifics may vary slightly depending on the platform, so it’s worth keeping an eye on official channel announcements closer to the event for any platform-specific details.
The event will also start with teams trying to qualify into the main event, where nations like Vietnam, China, Thailand, USA, Germany, Brazil, Indonesia and South Korea are already invited. The UK, among other nations like Argentina, Canada, India, Japan, Malaysia and more will duke it out in the Survival Stage, where the top 8 teams advance to the Grand Finals stage where they await the invitees.
