Garena to put 90 creators in Booyah Premier League Season 2

Garena plans to bring 90 Free Fire India and gaming creators into Season 2 of the Booyah Premier League in January 2027, a Pcquest trade-press report said on Nov. 13.

The creator-cricket tournament is moving to 11-a-side matches from nine-a-side in Season 1, while the lineup rises by 12 participants from last season’s 78 creators.

Team squads are due to be picked by creator-owners at a live auction in Jaipur on Nov. 18. The offline tournament is planned for January 2027 and will feature six teams, each with three creator-owners.

The ownership groups include gaming creators Mortal, Tonde Gamer, Lokesh Gamer, Aditech, Shreeman Legend and Dynamo Gaming. Each team is named after a Free Fire India map or location.

The teams are Kalahari Knights, Alpine Aces, Nexterra Nawabs, Bermuda Blasters, Peak Panthers and Solara Sultans. Their creator-owner groups include Desi Gamers, Munna Bhai Gaming, Dynamo Gaming, Badge 99, PN Rose, FozyAjay, TSG Ritik, Sooneeta, Mortal, Assassins Army, Shreeman Legend, Sharkshe, Sid, Lokesh Gamer, Tonde Gamer, Nonstop Gaming, Bacchu and Aditech.

For Garena, the format keeps Free Fire India creators visible outside gameplay streams and turns the game’s audience into a broader entertainment property. Pcquest said Free Fire India launched recently for the Indian region and framed the title’s return as part of a push to raise esports activity in the country.

Season 1 gave Garena a large fan-content footprint. Pcquest reported more than 630 million views across official, creator and fan content, including more than 2,500 fan-made videos and over 10 million official YouTube livestream views.

On the field, Nexterra Nawabs won the first season by 27 runs against Bermuda Blasters. Pavan Advani was final MVP after scoring 100 runs from 35 balls.

The new season is planned as a livestreamed stadium event on Free Fire India’s official YouTube channel. Pcquest said the production will include an opening ceremony, team anthems, cheerleaders, mascots and awards including Yellow Cap, Red Cap and MVP.

The report did not give a match-by-match calendar, venue list or prize details. The next announced step is the Jaipur auction on Nov. 18, when the six squads are scheduled to be selected.
