NODWIN gives KICK exclusive digital rights for BGMI Masters Series Season 5

NODWIN Gaming has awarded KICK the exclusive digital streaming rights for BGMI Masters Series (BGMS) Season 5, naming the platform the tournament’s official Digital Streaming Partner. The announcement was made in New Delhi on 07 August, 2026.

Under the deal, every match of BGMS Season 5 will stream exclusively on KICK. NODWIN positioned the move as part of a broader shift from the tournament’s earlier “television-first strategy” toward a digital-first distribution approach for its flagship BGMI esports property.

Akshat Rathee, Co-Founder and Managing Director, NODWIN Gaming, said: "When BGMS began, our objective was to bring esports into the mainstream and create a stage that would help the ecosystem grow. Television played an important role in that journey and helped us introduce competitive gaming to audiences across the country.

Today, BGMS stands as one of India's leading esports properties with a passionate digital-first community. As the tournament continues to grow, we're also exploring new ways to distribute, commercialise and build the IP for the long term. Partnering with KICK marks an important step in that journey, allowing us to experiment with new formats for fan engagement while creating additional opportunities to strengthen the tournament and the wider competitive ecosystem."

Ethan Wright, Director of KICK, said: "India is home to some of the world's most passionate and fastest-growing gaming communities. At KICK, we're focused on giving those communities a platform that puts them first through a better viewing atmosphere, deeper creator engagement and a livestreaming experience that helps gaming thrive. Esports continues to bring millions of people together, and we're excited to help more fans follow every match, celebrate every victory and support their favourite teams. We're looking

forward to partnering with NODWIN Gaming as the Official Streaming Partner for BGMS Season 5 and help bring one of India's biggest esports tournaments to audiences around the world."

BGMS Season 5 will run from August 10 to September 6, 2026. NODWIN said the first match of each day will begin at 4:00 PM IST, with the final match scheduled to start at 7:20 PM IST, and that further broadcast details will be shared via its official channels.
