Free Fire World Series - Global Finals 2025 format
The final event of the 2025 competitive Free Fire season will begin with the Knockout Stage from October 31 to November 9. Teams will be divided into three groups of six, with two groups playing at a time. Each side will play a total of 24 matches, with the top 12 advancing to the Grand Finals.
The Grand Finals stage will take place at the Indonesia Arena on November 15 and follow a Champion Rush format. Essentially, once a team reaches 80 points (the Champion Rush Point), any match they win next will make them the champion. If no side claims a Winner Winner Chicken Dinner after reaching this mark by the end of eight games, the participant with the most points overall will be crowned as the game's newest world champion.
For the first time, there will also be a Clash Squad competition running side by side with the main battle royale event. It will consist of the Swiss Stage (November 5 to 6), with the top eight teams from the Knockout Week 1 of the Battle Royale tournament participating. The Grand Finals are scheduled for November 14, and further details will be revealed closer to the start of the event.
Free Fire World Series Global Finals viewership
The Free Fire World Series has been one of the most popular global esports event series over the last half a dozen years. It has also consistently put up prize pools that remain among the highest in the competitive mobile gaming segment.
The Free Fire World Series 2021 Singapore, which reached an incredible 5,415,990 Peak Viewers, was for many years the most popular esports tournament ever. It still ranks among the top three on this leaderboard, proving just how successful and beloved the battle royale shooter was during the early 2020s lockdown era.
Free Fire's success also demonstrated that, under the right circumstances and with sufficient support, mobile gaming titles could rival their PC counterparts in terms of livestreaming success. And while the game's recent events have not matched the audience numbers from its COVID-19 heyday, other mobile games, such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, have taken over that mantle and continue to rank among the most popular esports events annually.
