LONDON – June 1st, 2026 – PUBG MOBILE, one of the world’s most popular mobile games, is excited to launch Flame on Football Season, a football-themed in-game activation featuring partnerships with national teams including Portugal and Argentina, famous for their legendary rivalry. From today until July 21st, the event brings football fandom to PUBG MOBILE with free official co-branded football jerseys, exclusive collectibles, match predictions, themed celebrations and matchday-inspired experiences throughout the summer.
At the heart of PUBG MOBILE’s Flame On Football Season is a major partnership inspired by the legendary rivalry between Portugal and Argentina. Players can score free official co-branded football jersey sets in-game, alongside exclusive PUBG MOBILE-branded football jersey sets available as collectable rewards. The campaign also expands the football celebrations across multiple regions through national team partnerships with Uzbekistan and Iraq, as well as a special in-game jersey set inspired by Brazilian star Richarlison.
Throughout the Flame On Football Season, players can collect and trade football-themed player and national team cards, celebrate victories with football-inspired fireworks during matches, and take part in a variety of themed in-game activities inspired by the passion and spectacle of the sport. From supporting the partnered teams to joining community-driven matchday celebrations, players can turn real-world football showdowns into unforgettable in-game moments.
Starting June 1st, PUBG MOBILE players can join the Winner Winner Chicken Predictor event, a new global spectacle in-game where ten regions will participate in the predicting of match outcomes. Each region will champion and empower a real-life chicken to foresee the victors by the chicken selecting the ‘winning’ national flag ahead of select World Cup games. Players can follow the predictions, support their chosen side and earn free jersey sets and rewards throughout the event, turning every matchday into a community-driven experience.
Building on the Portugal vs Argentina competition, a special Fan Livestream event will be available for players later in the activation, featuring a live-streamed in-game showdown led by two prominent streamers.
