BGMI International Cup BGIC 2025: Dates, Format, Prize Pool

BGMI International Cup 2025 (BGIC 2025)

KRAFTON India has officially confirmed the BGMI International Cup 2025 (BGIC), bringing together India’s top BGMI squads and elite teams from Korea and Japan for a high-stakes LAN showdown.

Scheduled from October 31 to November 2, 2025, the event will feature 16 teams battling it out for a ₹1 Crore prize pool and, more importantly, two direct slots to the PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) 2025.

If you’ve been following BGMI esports, you’ll know this is more than just another tournament. For the first time, India will host an international BGMI LAN event with multiple global teams on home soil. That means we, as fans, get to watch our favorite Indian rosters face off against some of the best in the world live, in the same arena.

BGIC 2025 Schedule & Format

The tournament will run for three matchdays, with six matches per day, making a total of 18 matches. Here’s how the lineup looks:

• 8 teams from the BGMI India Showdown

• 4 teams from Korea

• 4 teams from Japan

• Mode: Squads (TPP)

At the end of the event, the top two teams will secure their place in PMGC 2025. This is huge for Indian esports because the BGMI Showdown will also award one PMGC slot — meaning India will have three PMGC spots this year for the first time ever.

We’ve seen something similar before — the BGMI India–Korea Invitational in October 2023, held in Delhi NCR, where Indian and Korean teams clashed in front of a live audience. But this time, the scale is bigger, the stakes are higher, and Japan is in the mix too.

KRAFTON hasn’t revealed the exact city or venue yet, but expect a packed arena and roaring fans.
