BGMI Masters Series Season 5 Grand Finals: 16 Teams Battle for ₹1 Crore+ Prize Pool

The stage is set for the biggest showdown of BGMI Masters Series Season 5, with the tournament entering its decisive Grand Finals stage. Sixteen teams have secured their places in the final battle and will compete across three days and 18 matches for the championship title and a share of a ₹1 crore+ prize pool.

Organised by NODWIN Gaming, the BGMS Season 5 Grand Finals will take place from September 4 to 6, 2026, bringing together some of the biggest names and most competitive teams in India's BGMI esports ecosystem.

After weeks of action across the League Stage, Super Weekend and Playoffs, there is now no room for mistakes. Every placement point, elimination and Winner Winner Chicken Dinner could have a major impact on the final standings.

The Grand Finals feature a mix of established BGMI powerhouses and teams that have fought their way through the competition to earn their place in the final 16.

The teams competing in the BGMS Season 5 Grand Finals are Gladiators Esports, Wyld Fangs, Team Outrage, IRIS MYTH, iQOO SOUL, 7Gods Esports, iQOO 8BIT, iQOO Revenant Xspark, Nebula Esports, GOSOLO RAPID CHAOS ESPORTS, Team Apex Gaming, GENESIS ESPORTS, iQOO ORANGUTAN, Elite Nova Esports, iQOO Reckoning Esports and iQOO Team Tamilas.

Several teams had already secured their Grand Finals positions earlier in the tournament. iQOO Team Tamilas, Elite Nova Esports, iQOO SOUL, Nebula Esports, Gladiators Esports and IRIS MYTH earned their berths during the earlier stages, while the remaining finalists battled through the Playoffs to complete the final 16.

Among the players expected to attract attention are GDRxDeltaPG, WFxKanha, ORNinjaboi, MythDetroxIRIS, iQOOSoulLeGIT, 7GodsNinjA, iQOO8bitSarang, iQOORNTXTrace, NebulaKRATOS, GoSoloRCDhruv, TAGJONATHAN16, GENsHUNTERZ, iQOOxOGAKop, EltMafia, iQOORGExPROO and iQOOxTTjusty06.

With 18 matches spread across three days, the BGMS Season 5 championship is unlikely to be decided by one spectacular performance.

Teams will need to find the right balance between aggression and survival. While eliminations can provide valuable points, reckless engagements could also cost teams crucial placement points. The ability to read the lobby, adapt to changing situations and make the right decisions under pressure will be critical.

A strong opening day could give a team momentum, but there will still be plenty of opportunities for the standings to change. The team that maintains its level across all three days could ultimately have the advantage.

That makes consistency just as important as individual firepower.

₹40 lakh for the champions

The financial stakes are significant, with the BGMS Season 5 Grand Finals offering more than ₹1 crore in total prize money. The champions will walk away with ₹40 lakh, while the second-placed team will receive ₹15 lakh and the third-placed team will earn ₹6 lakh.

Individual players will also have major awards to compete for. The BGMS Season 5 MVP will be selected based on performances during the Grand Finals and will receive a trophy along with a TVS bike. The tournament's Most Wicked Player will also receive a TVS bike in recognition of their standout performance.

With individual and team honours on the line, the Grand Finals will provide players with multiple opportunities to make their mark.

Akshat Rathee, Co-Founder and Managing Director of NODWIN Gaming, highlighted the importance of the final 18 matches.

“We have seen the competition evolve throughout BGMS Season 5, and the final 16 represent the teams that have earned the opportunity to compete for the biggest prize of the season,” Rathee said.

He added that the Grand Finals would provide a clean slate, with every team now focused on the same objective and every decision capable of directly affecting the final standings. The unpredictability of BGMS has been one of the defining characteristics of the competition, and the final three days are expected to produce more twists as teams fight for every available point.

The BGMS Season 5 Grand Finals will be held from September 4 to 6, with the live show beginning at 3:30 PM IST each day. Match timings will follow dynamically as the action progresses.

Fans can watch the tournament live on NODWIN Gaming's official broadcast platform, KICK, as the 16 finalists battle for the BGMS Season 5 championship. Fans who want to experience the tournament in person can also attend the Grand Finals, with tickets available through the official BGMS ticketing platform.

BGMS Season 5 is supported by TVS Motor Company as the Mobility Partner and Red Bull as the Energy Drink Partner, with both brands continuing to support the development of India's rapidly growing competitive gaming ecosystem.

With 16 teams, 18 matches and more than ₹1 crore at stake, the BGMS Season 5 Grand Finals have all the ingredients for a dramatic finish. The long road through the League Stage, Super Weekend and Playoffs is over. Now, everything comes down to three days.

Sixteen teams. Eighteen matches. One champion.
