Established in 2018, the Skyesports Championship is positioned as one of India’s longest-running homegrown esports properties. The upcoming tournament continues Skyesports’ partnership model, which includes other sponsors such as AMD, Western Digital, Red Bull, and GIGABYTE.

The final stage introduced a competitive format called the Sky Champ Rule, requiring teams to reach a specific points threshold and secure a match victory to win. The event will be livestreamed on the Skyesports YouTube channel. 

Participating teams included Team Versatile, Gods Reign, True Rippers, Wyld Fangs, iQOO Soul, and iQOO 8Bit, among others.
