Format and how to watch

The teams in the Lower Bracket will participate in 18 matches, which won't be livestreamed on any platform. Following that, the top eight teams form the Lower Bracket will play in the Last Chance Qualifiers, while the bottom eight will face elimination from the Skyesports BGMI Championship 2025.

In the Upper Bracket, 16 teams will battle it out in 24 matches. The top eight teams from this stage will advance directly to the Grand Finals, while the bottom eight will compete in the Last Chance Qualifiers. The Upper Bracket matches will be broadcast live on Skyesports' YouTube channel.

Team Versatile, led by Saumraj, won the BGIS 2025 last month. The team will aim to win another BGMI event. One should also watch out for Godlike and Orangutan — the teams that finished second and third, respectively in the same tournament.

Team Soul recently added Goblin to their squad, and after finishing 15th in BGIS 2025, they will look to improve upon their performance.

Revenant XSpark has also had a poor run in the past few BGMI events. Similarly, Gods Reign, K9 Squads, and Gujarat Tigers failed to perform at BGIS. These teams will look impress in the Skyesports Champions 2025.
