BGMI Pro Series (BMPS) 2024: Schedule and Format

India’s biggest BGMI esports tournament, BMPS, is officially underway! Sixty-four of the top BGMI teams in the country are battling it out through several rounds of competition, leading up to the Grand Finals, which will be held from June 19th to 21st, 2026.

A major change in this year’s BMPS is the new Promotion and Relegation system, which began during the Qualifiers. Instead of just needing a good start, teams’ rankings will change after every six matches. This means the best four teams from Groups B, C, and D will move up to higher groups, while the four lowest-ranked teams from Groups A, B, and C will be moved down.

And, the tournament itself takes place across five competitive phases.

  • Qualifiers: Runs from May 6 to May 31, where the 64 invited teams battle across Erangel, Miramar, and Rondo. At the end of this stage, the top eight teams from Group A will get direct slots in the Grand Finals.
  • Survival Stage: Runs from June 2 to June 5, where 32 teams compete in a round-robin format for the remaining Semi-Final slots.
  • Semi-Finals: Runs from June 9 to June 12, featuring 24 teams competing in a double round-robin setup, with only the top six advancing directly to the finals.
  • Last Chance: It will be held on June 13 and 14, giving the remaining semi-final teams one last opportunity to qualify through a 12-match sprint.
  • Grand Finals: Finally, the Grand Finals will take place from June 19 to June 21 in a LAN format, where the top 16 teams will compete across 18 matches to become the BMPS 2026 champion.
