What is the Free Fire World Series 2025?

The Free Fire World Series is an annual global esports tournament where teams from various regions compete for the world championship title. Each team uses unique strategies and skills to dominate the battlefield.

Free Fire World Series 2025 Format

FFWS 2025 will feature two main modes, Battle Royale and Clash Squad, each with different strategies and gameplay styles, making the event even more thrilling.
A total of 18 teams from regions such as Brazil, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Middle East, and Africa have qualified for the event.

Battle Royale Mode

18 teams will be divided into three groups: A, B, and C.

The knockout stage will take place from October 31 to November 9, lasting six days. The top 12 teams will qualify for the Grand Final.

Rules:

The rules for the Free Fire World Series 2025, especially regarding character skill selection, will be similar to those of the Free Fire Max India Cup 2025.

This means that no two players in the same squad can use the same active skill.

Each squad member must use a unique active skill (character ability).
No two players in the same team can use the same active skill.
Random maps will be used in every match to increase unpredictability.
