Krafton names 64 teams and full rosters for BMPS 2026

Krafton India has published the 64 invited teams and complete five-player rosters for Battlegrounds Mobile India Pro Series 2026. The tournament started May 6 and will finish with a three-day LAN Grand Finals at the Jaipur Convention Center from June 19 to June 21. Krafton confirmed the prize pool at ₹2 crore and said the amount may increase during the event.

All 64 teams earned their places through Krafton India rankings from earlier 2025–26 events, including BMPS 2025, BGMS, BGIS and the India Rising Series. There are no open qualifiers for this edition. Organizers reduced the field to 64 teams from 96 last year and published full rosters and seedings for the opening stage.

The Qualifiers stage runs May 6–31 with teams split into Groups A, B, C and D of 16 teams each. Each team plays 24 matches across four rounds. After every six-match round, a promotion and relegation system moves top finishers in lower groups upward and drops bottom teams in higher groups. At the end of Qualifiers, the top eight teams in Group A advance directly to the Grand Finals and the bottom eight teams in Group D are eliminated.

Survival takes place June 2–5. Thirty-two teams compete in a round-robin and the top eight advance to the Semifinals. Semifinals run June 9–12 with 24 teams in a double round-robin; the top six finishers secure direct Grand Finals berths. Teams placed seventh through 22nd move to the Last Chance Stage on June 13–14.

The Last Chance Stage features 16 teams playing 12 matches; the top two finishers advance to complete the 16-team Grand Finals field. The Grand Finals will be a three-day LAN event with six matches per day. The team with the highest cumulative points across the Grand Finals will be crowned BMPS 2026 champion.

Krafton confirmed the BMPS 2026 champion will receive the largest cash share and a direct slot to the Esports World Cup 2026 in Riyadh. India has two BGMI slots at the Esports World Cup; Krafton has not formally announced how the second slot will be allocated but current indications tie it to the Global Points table for official 2026 events.

Published rosters include BGIS 2026 champions iQOO Soul with Nakul, Goblin, Joker, Legit and Thunder. iQOO Orangutan, top of the Global Points rankings, bring Aaru, AK, Wizzgod, Attanki and Prem. Team Apex Gaming, a new formation led by Jonathan, list Jelly, Hydro, KioLmao and Harsh alongside him. Godlike Esports will compete with Manya, Admino, Spower, Saumay and GodZ following roster changes. Genesis Esports entered with Gravity, HunterZ, Viper, Fury and ZAP.

Krafton’s published list names every invited team and all five players per roster. The tournament’s staged progression from Qualifiers through Survival, Semifinals, Last Chance and the Grand Finals will determine the BMPS 2026 champion and one of India’s representatives at the Esports World Cup.
