The BGMI esports season has officially begun, and all eyes are now on BGIS 2026. This is the biggest Battlegrounds Mobile India event of the year, and it will run for nearly three months. The best teams from across India will fight for one goal, to become national champions and earn the title of the strongest BGMI team in the country.
The tournament has just entered its early phase, but some teams already look stronger than the rest. Based on recent matches, team balance, and overall form, here is a simple list of the top five teams that fans should keep an eye on during BGIS 2026.
How These Teams Were Ranked
Three main points were used to decide the rankings.
Official Rankings
This is based on the Krafton India leaderboard. Teams earn points from their results in big events like BGIS, BMPS, and BMIC. Older points slowly lose value over time, so only recent performances really matter.
Recent Form
This looks at how teams performed in their last five tournaments, including both official and third-party events.
Team Balance
This checks how well players work together. A team with strong teamwork and clear roles usually performs better in long tournaments.
Nebula Esports
Nebula Esports has built a name as a team that can surprise anyone. They are known for playing smart and staying calm under pressure. Right now, they sit in the middle of the official rankings, but their recent results show steady improvement.
They placed well in their last two big events, showing that their teamwork is getting stronger. The players have been together for a long time, which helps them understand each other’s moves on the map. Their mix of safe play and sudden attacks makes them dangerous for even the top teams.
Team Soul
Team Soul is one of the most respected names in Indian BGMI history. They are known for their experience and strong mental game. Over the past year, they have picked up good results in multiple tournaments, proving that they still belong at the top.
Their current squad has been playing together for over a year. This gives them a big advantage in communication and planning. With strong attackers and a leader who understands the zones well, Soul can turn close matches into wins.
Infinix True Rippers
True Rippers had a big year recently, including a chance to represent India on the global stage. Even though the international event was tough, they stayed strong in local tournaments and kept finishing near the top.
Their team focuses more on smart positioning than wild fights. They like to hold key areas and wait for the right moment to strike. If they adapt well to the new game updates and zone changes, they could lift their first major trophy at BGIS 2026.
Godlike Esports
Godlike Esports is famous for its firepower. This team loves taking fights and winning them. A recent change in leadership has brought fresh energy, and the results have already started to show.
With several star players who can turn any match around, Godlike is always a threat. If they control their aggressive style and keep their movements clean, they can dominate any lobby on their day.
