In a big move for Indian esports, Krafton India, the company behind the popular mobile game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), has announced a brand-new BGMI Franchise League. Just like the Indian Premier League (IPL) in cricket, this league will allow companies, celebrities, and investors to own and manage BGMI teams.
A Big Step for Indian Gaming
BGMI has become one of India’s most loved esports games. Huge tournaments are held in cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Kochi, and Hyderabad, where thousands of fans come to cheer for their favorite teams. With the first half of the 2025 esports season ending on July 6, Krafton is getting ready to launch this exciting new league in the second half of the year.
Why It’s a Great Opportunity
India now has over 450 million gamers, and mobile games are the most popular. In the last three years, the number of people watching esports has grown by 400%, and the industry is expected to earn over ₹1,100 crore by the end of 2025.
Krafton says this is the perfect time to get involved in esports, which is quickly becoming a big part of India’s digital and youth culture.
“This isn’t just the start of a league—it’s the beginning of a long-term esports system that can grow as big as the world’s top leagues,” Krafton said.
They are looking for brands, celebrities, athletes, gaming lovers, and investors who want to be a part of this journey.
Want to Own a BGMI Team?
If you're interested in buying a spot in the BGMI Franchise League, you must contact Krafton India before July 4, 2025. Once you show interest by sending them an email, Krafton will send you more details and a Letter of Intent (LOI) to move forward with the process.
In Summary
The BGMI Franchise League is set to change the future of gaming in India. It’s a golden chance for anyone passionate about esports or youth culture to own a team, connect with fans, and grow with India’s booming gaming scene.
