The PU Circuit is back for 2025! 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 (

) 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 2024.
​
PU Winter Seasonal (Type A) - January 13th
PU Ladder Tournament (Type B) - March 31st
PU Open (Type A) - May
PU Classic (Type C)* - June 9th
  • SS & SM - June 9th​
  • ORAS & BW - June 16th​
  • DPP & ADV - June 23rd​
  • GSC & RBY* - June 30th​
  • Playoffs - August​
PU Swiss (Type A) - August 11th
PU Cup (Type C) - September 29th
PU Circuit Playoffs - December 1st

There are two major changes from last year: We are introducing the PU Cup as a new Type C tournament. It will be a single-elimination Bo3 tournament held towards the end of the year, giving players a "last chance" to qualify for the playoffs. We will also add RBY and GSC to the PU Classic this year. The playoffs will remain Bo5, with three of the eight tiers being dropped. The starting dates could change slightly but this should be a reasonable estimate of when to expect the tournaments to start.
