The latest of the bunch is PGL, who after affirming the first big event of 2027 earlier this year, has now laid out its plans for the entire 2027 and 2028 seasons.

In total, there will be 15 Tier-1 tournaments hosted by PGL across the two years, and as for when each will be held, we're told the following:
