Garena has named the six teams and 18 creator-owners for Season 2 of the Booyah Premier League (BPL), its creator cricket league for Free Fire India. The owners will pick their squads at a live auction in Jaipur on 18 November. Garena announced the details on 12 November. The cricket tournament itself is planned for January 2027.
Booyah Premier League Season 2 teams and creator owners
Season 2 switches to 11-a-side matches, up from nine-a-side in the first season. Garena expects the number of creators taking part to rise from 78 to 90. Each team now has three creator-owners instead of two. Garena is also opening the league to gaming creators from outside Free Fire India for the first time.
Each team takes its name from a Free Fire India map or location. Six creators join the ownership groups this season: Mortal, Tonde Gamer, Lokesh Gamer, Aditech, Shreeman Legend and Dynamo Gaming.
| Team | Creator-owners |
|---|---|
| Kalahari Knights | Desi Gamers, Munna Bhai Gaming and Dynamo Gaming |
| Alpine Aces | Badge 99, PN Rose and FozyAjay |
| Nexterra Nawabs | TSG Ritik, Sooneeta and Mortal |
| Bermuda Blasters | Assassins Army, Shreeman Legend and Sharkshe |
| Peak Panthers | Sid, Lokesh Gamer and Tonde Gamer |
| Solara Sultans | Nonstop Gaming, Bacchu and Aditech |
Mortal joins Nexterra Nawabs, the defending champions. Nexterra Nawabs won the first season with a 27-run win over Bermuda Blasters in the final. Pavan Advani was the final’s most valuable player, after he scored 100 runs off 35 balls.
Season 1’s numbers and Garena’s Free Fire India plans
Garena said official, creator and fan content from Season 1 drew more than 630 million views. That figure includes over 2,500 videos made by fans. Live streams on the official YouTube channel drew more than 10 million views, the company said. Garena has not published how many people watched the final, or how many unique viewers the league reached.
Vaibhav Das Mundhra, Garena’s head of operations in India, said BPL brings gaming creators together “on the field” of cricket. He said Garena wants the league to become “a fixture” that creators and fans look forward to each year. The tournament will stream on the Free Fire India YouTube channel. Garena has promised an opening ceremony, team anthems, mascots and awards, including the Yellow Cap, Red Cap and MVP.
The player auction takes place in Jaipur on 18 November. Garena first teased the date in the Booyah Premier League auction teaser, an Instagram reel posted on 7 November. It has not confirmed the tournament’s match dates, venue or prize money.
