NODWIN Gaming appears all set to return with the BGMI Masters Series Season 4 (BGMS 2025), with leaks hinting at an August 18 start.


While an official announcement is still pending, the buzz is already sweeping through the Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) community.


The event is once again expected to be hosted at the NODWIN Gaming Arena in New Delhi, with OnePlus confirmed to return as the Title Sponsor and Official Smartphone Partner.


The BGMI Masters Series has grown into a staple of India’s esports calendar, and this year’s Season 4 seems poised to keep that momentum going.


The BGMS event page on NODWIN’s official website had quietly listed it under the “coming in 2025” banner, hinting that the tournament was already in the pipeline.


Now, based on insider chatter and the usual schedule of past seasons — which typically fell between July and August — the rumored August 18 start doesn’t seem too far-fetched. Season 3, for instance, ran from July 19 to August 11, and Season 2 from August 4 to August 27, which gives this year’s speculation even more credibility.


Here’s a look at how BGMS has evolved over the years:

Each year, BGMS has tweaked its structure — from Survival and Domination weeks to the inclusion of Powerplay bonuses — keeping fans and players on their toes. And judging by how Season 3 played out with 145.5 million views, expectations are sky-high for Season 4.


While NODWIN has yet to issue an official confirmation, all signs — and several credible leaks — point toward a mid-August kickoff.
