Nodwin Gaming has officially announced BGMI Masters Series Season 5 (BGMS 2026), and the offline LAN action is set to kick off in New Delhi this August.


BGMS 2026 will feature 24 teams battling it out in Squads TPP mode. The tournament runs from August 10 to September 6, giving fans nearly a month of non-stop BGMI drama to look forward to.


Full Schedule

Nodwin has laid out a fairly packed calendar for this season. Here's how the stages break down:

  • League Week 1: August 10 to 13

  • Bounty Weekend: August 14 to 16

  • League Week 2: August 17 to 20

  • Super Weekend 1: August 21 to 23

  • League Week 3: August 24 to 27

  • Super Weekend 2: August 28 to 30

  • Playoffs: August 31 to September 2

  • Grand Finals: September 4 to 6


Unlike Season 4, which leaned on a more layered Masters + Challengers structure, Season 5 seems to be going with a simpler single path. All 24 teams compete through the league phase, made up of a blend of directly invited organizations and teams that fought their way in through qualifiers, including slots earned via events like TVS Raider Wicked Battles.


That said, some specifics are still under wraps. Things like exact advancement numbers from league phase to Playoffs, match counts per day, and group structures haven't been made public yet.


Teams

The full roster list hasn’t been revealed yet, but a few teams have already secured their spots. Santa Esports clinched their BGMS Season 5 berth by winning the TVS Raider Wicked Battles Finals on August 2. Joining them are other top-three finishers, Aura X Esports, Hexvora, and White Walkers, who also earned their places.


Expect familiar heavyweights too. Teams like Team Soul, GodLike Esports, Orangutan, Revenant XSpark, Global Esports, 8Bit, and True Rippers have a history of showing up at BGMS and BMPS events, so their presence this season wouldn't be a surprise, even though official confirmation is still pending.


Last year, K9 Esports took home the BGMS Season 4 title in Delhi NCR, walking away with a big chunk of the 1.5 crore prize pool, around 60 lakh rupees.


Full rosters, the prize pool, and broadcast details are expected to drop closer to August 10. Keep an eye on official Nodwin Gaming channels and trackers for updates as the tournament approaches.
