PGL has revealed that Krakow, Poland, will host its first tournament of 2027, running from January 13th-25th. This marks a return to the city for the tournament organizer, who previously held the memorable PGL Major Krakow there in 2017.
The 2027 tournament will once again take place in the impressive TAURON Arena. With a seating capacity of over 15,000 for sporting events, the arena provides a fitting stage for top-tier esports competition.
The PGL Major Kraków 2017 was a truly special moment for PGL and the entire esports community. The energy of the fans and the incredible matches created memories that have lasted. We’re thrilled to be heading back to Krakow and adding to that legacy.
Silviu Stroie, CEO of PGL
Interestingly, PGL’s 2027 event avoids a direct clash with ESL’s schedule, unlike the situations in 2025 and 2026. Instead, it will coincide with part of the BLAST Bounty Season 1, which features online stages.
This scheduling decision reflects the ongoing competition among tournament organizers to secure their place within the increasingly busy esports calendar.
