BMPS 2026 Format Explained

This year’s BMPS follows a Promotion and Relegation system, which makes the competition even tougher.

The 64 teams are divided into four groups:

Group A
Group B
Group C
Group D

After every set of matches, the leaderboard changes completely.

Promotion Rules

Top four teams from Groups B, C, and D move up
Bottom four teams from Groups A, B, and C move down

This means teams cannot relax after one good performance. Consistency will be the biggest key in BMPS 2026.

At the end of the Qualifiers:

Top 8 teams from Group A directly qualify for Grand Finals
Bottom 8 teams from Group D get eliminated

Because of this format, every single point will matter from Day 1 itself.

Team Apex Gaming Will Be Under Spotlight

One of the biggest attractions today will be Team Apex Gaming. Fans are excited to watch Jonathan’s new roster play its first official BMPS matches together.

The squad already has huge fan support, and many viewers are waiting to see if the new lineup can dominate from the start.
