NODWIN Gaming and JioStar Unveil OnePlus Android BGMS Season 4
NODWIN Gaming, South Asia’s leading gaming and esports company, announces the return of the OnePlus Android Battlegrounds Mobile India Masters Series (BGMS). Season 4 of India’s most-watched esports event is set to air live on Star Sports Khel and on JioHotstar from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, starting August 18 to September 14. This marks the first time BGMS will be available on JioStar, promising an even bigger, bolder, and more inclusive tournament experience with a prize pool of ₹ 1,50,00,000
For the First Time: Multi-Cam Broadcasts
Elevating the viewing experience, BGMS Season 4 introduces a multi-cam broadcast setup for the first time ever. Viewers can now watch the action unfold from:
-
1 Main Cam
-
1 Dedicated Map Cam
-
4 Top Team Cams, featuring one key player each
From next week, the player cams will spotlight standout performers, giving fans a closer look at the tournament’s rising stars.
Format: Bigger, Bolder, and More Inclusive
Season 4 introduces a dual-tier structure for the first time in BGMS history—bringing together the BGMS (Masters Series) and the newly launched BGCS (Challenger Series). This format allows aspiring teams to compete directly with pros, making BGMS 2025 the most accessible and inclusive edition yet.
-
BGMS: 24 of India’s top BGMI teams will battle in a LAN setting for the championship title, broadcast live on Star Sports.
-
BGCS: Serving as the official feeder league, BGCS will also feature 24 teams—2 from OnePlus Campus Dominate, 1 from TVS Raider Wicked Battles, 17 invited squads, and 4 all-women teams, marking a milestone for gender inclusivity in Indian esports.
Playoffs: Where Dreams Get Real
At the end of three weeks of BGCS action, the top 4 teams will progress to the playoff stage, where they will challenge the bottom 12 BGMS teams (those ranked 13–24 after the group stages). The Top 8 BGMS teams (Ranked 1–8) will advance directly to the Semifinals and they will be joined by the Top 8 teams from the Playoffs. These 16 teams will then compete in the Semifinals, leading into the BGMS Grand Finals. For the first time ever, amateur teams from BGCS have a real opportunity to win BGMS, redefining the competitive landscape of Indian mobile esports.
The tournament continues to push the envelope with its unique mechanics designed to reward strategy, risk, and aggression. The Powerplay, first introduced in Season 2, awards double points per finish during the first zone of a match, encouraging teams to engage early. Powerplay will be active across all days in BGMS and BGCS. The Impact Player feature, available on weekends (except the final week), lets each team designate one player whose finish points are doubled, adding a strategic edge to roster decisions. The Bounty System, introduced last year, returns this season with a daily run from August 21 to September 7 in BGMS, awarding an additional 10 points to any team that fully eliminates a designated “bounty team.” This high-risk, high-reward mechanic adds strategic depth and can dramatically swing the leaderboard. The Impact Player and Bounty system will be only active in BGMS.
Season 4 will also feature two back-to-back LAN events. The first, beginning around 12:00 PM , will host the earlier Challenger Series matches and qualifiers, followed by the master series matches from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This dual LAN setup aims to deepen the live audience experience and elevate the competition’s production value.
“BGMS has always been more than a tournament; it’s a cultural phenomenon,” said Akshat Rathee, Co-Founder and Managing Director of NODWIN Gaming. “This year, we’ve expanded the format to reflect the breadth of Indian gaming. From grassroots to greatness, from campus halls to national TV. This is BGMS like you’ve never seen before. We’re thrilled to welcome OnePlus, Android, TVS and Bisleri as partners as we push the envelope once again.”
Siddharth Sharma, Head – Audience Engagement, Viewership, and Monetization Initiatives – JioStar, said “BGMS continues to break new ground in Indian esports, and we at JioStar are proud to bring this cultural movement to screens across the country. This season’s expanded format, diverse participation, and high-quality gameplay exemplify the kind of dynamic, youth-driven content we aim to champion.”
Now in its fourth year on national television, BGMS remains India’s first-ever televised BGMI tournament and one of NODWIN Gaming’s flagship IPs. Season 3 recorded over 145.5 million views across platforms, continuing to redefine mobile esports in India. This season, BGMS raises the bar with a wider reach, greater scale, and deeper impact on India’s gaming ecosystem. Beyond crowning champions, the new revamped format of the tournament aims to create new opportunities for emerging talent from all segments of India’s growing esports community.
Season 4 will also feature two back-to-back LAN events. The first, beginning around 12:00 PM, will host the earlier Challenger Series matches and qualifiers, followed by the master series matches from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This dual LAN setup aims to deepen the live audience experience and elevate the competition’s production value.
Together, BGCS and BGMS will deliver x hours of elite BGMI competition, showcasing India’s top-tier esports talent across digital and television platforms.
With BGMS Season 4 just around the corner, as pro teams gear up and new players fight their way through qualifiers, BGMS Season 4 is set to be the most expansive, competitive, and inclusive edition yet.
