FFPL 2021 Tournament Format

FFPL 2021 Winter will have teams competing across three stages – FFC, League Stage, and Grand Finals. The matches will be played in the traditional Battle Royale Squad format. To become FFPL 2021 Winter Champions, each team will undergo three grueling stages against formidable opponents who have already proven themselves on India’s biggest stage, FFIC 2021 Fall.

Participants will first compete in the Open Qualifiers via the Free Fire Cup (FFC) mode, which will see the top six teams advancing to the League Stage. These six teams will be joined by 12 teams ranked in the top 12 in the recently-concluded Free Fire India Championship (FFIC) 2021 Fall. The FFC mode will be held from 21 - 24 December.

The League Stage will see the top 18 teams divided into three groups of six teams. Each group will play against the others in a round-robin format over the course of six League Days spanning a period of three weeks. This will be taking place from 8 January 2022 to 23 January 2022.

The top 12 teams in order of points will qualify for the Grand Finals.

FFPL 2021 Winter Grand Finals will see these 12 teams battle for a majority share of the INR 35 lakh prize pool on 30 January 2022. However, the prize money will not be the only reward at stake. Top-performing teams at FFPL 2021 Winter will get the coveted opportunity to participate in FFIC 2022 Spring.

FFPL 2021 Winter will be broadcast live from the League Stage onwards. Fans can tune in to the Free Fire Esports India YouTube Channel as well as on Facebook and BOOYAH! to catch all of the high-octane action!
