Format

The Grand Finals of the Free Fire World Cup 2025 will be played in a Champion Rush format. A maximum of 10 matches will be organised in the stage. Once a squad crosses the 80-point mark, the first team to win a match will be declared the winner of the tournament. If any team fails to win a game after reaching the 80-point mark, the first-ranked team in the overall standings will win the event.

The 12 finalists will first play in the Point Rush stage on July 19, 2025, in which they will get to secure headstart points for the Grand Finals based on their rankings. A total of six matches will be played in the Point Rush.

In the Knockout Stage, Team Falcons demonstrated amazing performances and topped the overall standings. These defending champions looked impressive throughout their 12 matches of the initial stage. Brazil's LOS also performed brilliantly and came second in the overall leaderboard.

Evos Divine from Indonesia came third in the Knockout, while the popular club RRQ finished fourth. Buriram United, an experienced Free Fire team, had an average run, ranking seventh in the stage. Meanwhile, Team Vitality, which acquired Bigetron Esports, placed eighth in the rankings.
