Garena Masters Season 10 Features COD Mobile 5v5 Tournament With $40K

A $40,000 online Call of Duty: Mobile tournament organized by Garena with Activision support ran across late February and mid-March, culminating on March 15, 2026. The event used a Swiss-bracket Qualification Stage on February 28 and March 1, fed an eight-team Group Stage that began March 5, and awarded $20,000 to the champion while the remainder of the $40,000 pool was distributed among the top eight teams.

Qualification play opened February 28 in a Swiss format where every match was best-of-3. The February 28–March 1 window produced the eight teams that moved on to the Group Stage, with the tournament metadata on Liquipedia listing the overall event start as February 28 and the official schedule aligning those two qualification dates.

The Group Stage began March 5 with eight teams split into two groups of four and used a double round-robin schedule. All Group Stage matches were best-of-3, and the top two teams from each group advanced to the Playoffs. Liquipedia and an event listing both record the tournament end date as March 15, 2026, setting a compact Feb. 28–Mar. 15 competition window from qualifiers through playoffs.

Prize distribution was headlined by a $20,000 first-place award within the $40,000 total pool. Beyond the champion figure, organizers indicated the remaining amount would be distributed among the top eight teams but did not publish a detailed 2nd–8th breakdown in the materials available during the event window.

Garena positioned Season 10 as an A-Tier regional event for the Garena markets, with team representation compiled from the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore. Liquipedia lists the event as Online while also showing icons for the three countries, and a separate event listing identifies the country field as Philippines. The original event messaging described the pro-level ecosystem as run under Garena with Activision support.

Fans could watch live coverage through Garena’s official channels on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch. Streaming access and match coverage were provided through those platforms, though no public schedule with match start times, broadcast talent, or per-match time zones was published alongside the basic streaming links.

Sportsdunia framed Garena Masters Season 10 as kicking off the 2026 Southeast Asian CODM calendar and said the tournament would help develop the 2026 SEA gaming meta, noting related commentary such as “Top 5 Mythic Characters of COD Mobile.” What remained unspecified through the event window were exact playoff bracket rules, match formats for the Playoffs, a full payout table for places 2–8, and an official list of participating teams. As Season 10 closes on March 15, the tournament provides a clear competitive start to 2026 in the region while several operational details await formal confirmation from Garena.
