How to join BGMI tournaments in India

Last checked on 7 Nov 2026

KRAFTON India lists its official BGMI tournaments, rankings and approved third-party events on KRAFTON India Esports, at kraftonindiaesports.com. Registration for its open events, including BGIS, happens there.

Each event is labelled Open, Invite or Open + Invite. An open event takes any eligible team. An invite event is only for teams KRAFTON invites.

Events any team can enter

  • BGIS, the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series, is Open + Invite: open teams qualify through in-game stages, alongside invited teams. KRAFTON lists BGIS 2026 at 1016+64 teams.
  • JioBLAST Gully Wars is an open-for-all online tournament for grassroots players. The 2026 edition ran from 20 September to 29 November with 1,024 teams and ₹10 lakh in prizes.
  • Naye Khiladi, the KIE College Campus Tour and Upthrust Esports' India Rising Series were open events in 2026.
  • Battlin, KRAFTON's new tournament platform, held its first open season in November 2026. Its Track 1 winner gets a BGIS slot.

Invite-only events

  • BMPS, BMSD and BMIC are invite-only, and so was the Rising Star Invitational in 2026. Reports on BMSD 2026 said teams were selected through KRAFTON's existing pathway.
  • These events lead abroad. The BMPS 2026 winner, GodLike Esports, got a direct place at the Esports World Cup, and the BMSD 2026 winner, Team Soul, got a place in the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2026.
  • KRAFTON keeps official team and player rankings, the KIE leaderboard, on the same site. They show which teams are performing well across official events.

Third-party tournaments

Other organizers can apply to KRAFTON to host BGMI tournaments. Approved events appear on KRAFTON India Esports with a tier label. In November 2026 these included the Chennai Esports Global Championship at Tier 1, and RedBull Solo Legends Season 2 at Tier 3.

A realistic path up

  1. Build a steady squad and play open events, such as grassroots tournaments, college events and Battlin seasons.
  2. Enter BGIS when registration opens, and aim to get through its open stages.
  3. Good results in official events earn points on KRAFTON's KIE leaderboard.
  4. The invite-only events, BMPS, BMSD and BMIC, are the route to international events such as the Esports World Cup and PMGC.

Before you register

  • Read each event's official rules before registering, because requirements can change between seasons. KRAFTON India Esports links its rulebook at the bottom of every page.
  • Register only through official pages. Be wary of anyone selling slots or asking for a fee to get you into an official event.
  • Never share your password or one-time codes. Esports is about skill, not betting, and KRAFTON says Battlin has no wagering or betting.
