The 2026 esports roadmap for Call of Duty: Mobile – Garena for the SMP region (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines) has been unveiled. Grassroots tournaments and global qualification stages are included in the mobile shooter game's calendar of competitive events for the first half of the year.
CODM Garena 2026 Esports Roadmap expands opportunities for teams and individuals in Multiplayer (MP) and Battle Royale (BR) formats. BR mode players, in particular, gain more avenues, aligning with Garena's vision to foster an inclusive and sustainable esports ecosystem in the SMP region.
Road to CODMWC 2026
The Call of Duty Mobile World Championship returns in 2026 from May to November, featuring five stages. SMP will compete in Stage 3 via Garena Masters 11 before proceeding to Garena's annual regional qualifier slated for August, wherein only two teams will qualify for the offline World Championship Finals.
- Stage 1: Local Solo Qualifier
- May 2026
- Stage 2: Local Team Qualifier
- June 2026
- Stage 3: Garena Masters 11
- July 2026
- Stage 4: Garena's Annual Regional Qualifier
- August 2026
- Stage 5: CODMWC Finals
- November 2026
Following Team Philippines' standout performance in 2025, where Elevate PuK and Stalwart Esports finished as first and second runners-up, the region will once again compete for slots at the CODM World Championship Finals this November.
Regional and Community Tournaments
Garena COD Mobile will support the competitive scene in Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines through regional and grassroots initiatives, including the twice-yearly Garena Masters and Community Gladiators, its flagship BR-oriented grassroots series, which returns with a USD 10,000 prize pool in the first season. With approachable formats like 1v1, Community Gladiators make competitive gaming easier for amateur CODM players.

Following excellent SMP achievements in the last Global Qualifiers, Garena will persist in its investment in the development of regional talent in the region this year. Garena Elite Philippines and monthly CODM Tayo events will assist and engage the community in the Philippines as part of this greater effort.
This year, Garena will increase the frequency and scale of CODM Tayo events and bring them to more accessible areas like city-center malls, along with barangay activations to continue connecting with gamers. Fans and players can interact with content creators, influencers, and CODM clans, play mini-tournaments, and participate in interactive in-game activities during these offline events.
In the next months, host cities and event highlights will be revealed.
CODM Garena's 2026 SMP esports roadmap promises another year of regional talent development and high-level competition with a packed schedule and clearer progression from grassroots participation to global competition.
