Circuit Standings

The PU Circuit is back for 2026! The circuit will have multiple tournaments where top placing players will earn leaderboard points to try to make the cut, to compete in the PU Circuit Playoffs at the end of the year and earn themselves a ribbon (
red-png.150416
) on their badgeset. This year, we've reworked the schedule and added a new tournament. This thread will also give information on the details behind the tournaments that have been revamped from 2025.
​
PU Winter Seasonal (Type A) - January 11th
PU Classic (Type C) - March 8th
  • SS & SM - March 9th​
  • ORAS & BW - March 15th​
  • DPP & ADV - March 22nd​
  • GSC & RBY - March 29th​
  • Playoffs - May​
PU Open (Type A) - May
PU Ladder Tournament (Type B) - June 14th
PU Swiss (Type A) - July 26th
PU Cup (Type B) - October 4th
PU Circuit Playoffs - December 6th

The circuit is largely the same as last year; however, PU Cup is now a Type B tournament and the tournaments have been moved around to spread the Type A and Type B tournaments more evenly throughout the year. The starting dates could change slightly but this should be a reasonable estimate of when to expect the tournaments to start.
