PGL Singapore Major countdown: dates, venue and ticket prices for Malaysian CS2 fans
The first CS2 Major in Southeast Asia starts in under three weeks. Here are the confirmed dates, the Singapore Indoor Stadium finals and ticket prices for fans travelling from Malaysia.
Counter-Strike's biggest stage is about to arrive on Malaysia's doorstep. The PGL Major Singapore 2026, the first Counter-Strike 2 Major held in Southeast Asia, starts later this month and runs until 13 December, with its final four days at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang. With the event less than three weeks away, here is what fans heading south from Malaysia need to know.
The key dates
PGL announced the event for 25 November to 13 December 2026, with 32 teams competing for a US$1.25 million prize pool. It is the second CS2 Major of the 2026 season and only the second Counter-Strike Major in Asia, after Shanghai in 2024.
As with recent Majors, the event moves through several stages before the eight-team playoffs. Some fan and listing sites give 24 November as the opening day, while the official venue listing and PGL's original announcement say 25 November, so check PGL's channels for the final match schedule.
The part most travelling fans will care about is fixed: the playoffs at the Singapore Indoor Stadium from Thursday 10 to Sunday 13 December, ending with a best-of-five grand final. PGL has not publicly named an arena for the earlier stages.
Ticket prices and session times
According to the official Kallang venue listing, single-day playoff tickets cost:
- Thursday 10 December: S$144
- Friday 11 December: S$169
- Saturday 12 December: S$294
- Sunday 13 December (final day): S$369
A booking fee of S$6 applies to each ticket priced S$50 and above. Tickets have been on general sale since 25 February through Ticketmaster Singapore and its hotline, with a limit of 10 tickets per transaction.
From 10 to 12 December, doors open at 3.30pm and play starts at 5pm. On final day, doors open at 12.30pm with play from 2pm. Singapore and Malaysia share the same time zone (UTC+8), so there is no conversion needed for fans watching from home.
Practical tips for the trip
The venue's entry rules are strict. Professional cameras, GoPros, zoom lenses, selfie sticks and tripods are banned, as is live-streaming on social media. Bags larger than 35 x 20 x 30cm, noise makers, outside food and drink, and oversized fan boards are also not allowed. Empty plastic water bottles are permitted. The deposit counter charges S$10 per item, payable only by Visa, Mastercard or PayNow, so Malaysian visitors should plan payment methods in advance.
Children aged four and above need their own ticket. For fans driving or taking the bus from Johor Bahru or Kuala Lumpur, the late finishes from 10 to 12 December are worth considering when booking accommodation or return transport.
Why it matters for the region
A Major in Singapore gives Southeast Asian Counter-Strike fans a rare chance to see the world's best teams without a long-haul flight. It also follows a busy period in Asian CS2, with IEM Beijing taking place in China this week.
