BGMI Esports Viewership in 2025

BGMI Esports had one of the most blistering years in 2025, which saw a rise in the overall viewership of its Esports tournaments. There were four major esports tournaments organised by Krafton India in 2025. These four tournaments were: BGIS 2025, BMPS 2025, BMSD 2025, and BMIC 2025. All these tournaments have a cumulative 28 million watch hours.

All four tournaments enjoyed high numbers of peak viewership. You can check the peak viewership count for all the tournaments in the given table. All the data is based on Esports charts:

Where does BGMI Esports Viewership Stand against Global Standards?

As per the esports charts, BGMI Esports would have easily made it into the list of the top 10 most-watched mobile esports tournaments. In 2025, BGMI Esports received its peak viewership during the BGIS 2025 grand finals, which was 485,132. Following this, the peak viewership substantially dropped but remained well over 300,000 during the next 3 tournaments.

As per the numbers based on Esports charts, BGMI would have finished at the 6th spot in the list of the most-watched Mobile World Championships. Mobile Legends Bang Bang's M7 World Championship saw the highest viewership at 5680511, followed by PMGC 2025 at 1301772.

Free Fire World Series Global finals and HoK International Championship are at 3rd and 4th spot with 775,141 and 742,342 peak views. Clash Royale League World finals stand at 5th place with 698,426 views.

The reason BGMI Esports hasn't been included in the list is that the game is only played in India and doesn't have a 'Global-level competition'. BGMI teams seek qualification to PMGC once every cycle. Despite being a one-nation game, BGMI Esports viewership cements the popularity of mobile gaming in the country and the growth avenues for new publishers to explore and exploit.
