BGMI IQOO Battlegrounds Series 2025: Tournament Format

The iQOO Battlegrounds Series 2025 will unfold in a meticulously designed hybrid format, ensuring a rigorous challenge for all participating teams.

Group Stage (July 21 – July 24): The tournament commences with the Group Stage, spanning four days from July 21st to July 24th. Thirty-two teams (comprising 30 invited teams and two qualifiers from the iQOO Community Cup Season 2) will be divided into two groups of 16 teams each.

Each team will engage in a total of 12 matches during this phase. The top 8 teams from the overall Group Stage standings will earn a direct ticket to the coveted Grand Finals. The remaining 24 teams will not be eliminated but will get a second chance by advancing to the Semi-Finals.

Semi-Finals (July 25 – July 28): Following the Group Stage, the Semi-Finals will take place from July 25th to July 28th. The 24 teams that did not directly qualify for the Grand Finals will be redistributed into three groups of eight teams.

These groups will compete in a round-robin format, meaning each team will play 16 matches to prove their mettle. The top 8 teams from the overall standings after these four days will join the pre-qualified teams in the Grand Finals. The bottom 16 teams from this stage will unfortunately be eliminated from the tournament.

Grand Finals (August 8 – August 10): The culmination of weeks of intense competition will be the Grand Finals, scheduled to be held as a thrilling LAN event in Delhi from August 8th to August 10th. The top 16 teams – eight from the Group Stage and eight from the Semi-Finals – will battle it out over three days for the championship trophy and the lion’s share of the INR 1 Crore prize pool. Each day of the Grand Finals will feature 6 matches, totaling 18 high-octane encounters.
