Garena just dropped the complete schedule for the Free Fire Max India Cup (FFMIC) 2026 Spring. This tournament stretches from early February through mid-April, giving teams a massive three-month journey to prove they're the best in India.
The FFMIC 2026 Spring schedule packs intense battles at every stage. With over ₹1 crore in prizes and three direct spots to the Esports World Cup 2026, teams face the biggest challenge of the year.
FFMIC 2026 Spring Schedule and Dates
FFMIC 2026 Qualifiers Phase
The action starts immediately with two qualifying paths. FFMIC City Qualifiers happen first on February 7 and 8 as offline LANs. Four cities host these events: Lucknow, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad. Each location brings 144 teams together, but only one winner per city advances. That's seriously tight competition.
Then, FFC Mode In-Game Qualifiers open February 15. This online format gives thousands of teams their shot at the main event. Most of the 48 total slots fill through these in-game battles.
FFMIC 2026 Group Stage
Group Stage runs across two weeks, with all qualified teams fighting for knockout spots. Week 1 goes from February 26 to March 1. Teams play multiple matches to rack up points and climb the standings.
Week 2 happens March 6 through March 8. The format continues grinding teams down. Strong performances here mean better seeding for knockouts. Weak showings send teams packing early.
FFMIC 2026 Knockout Stage
The Knockout Stage spreads over three weeks, and elimination pressure hits hard. Week 1 runs from March 20 to March 22. Teams face do-or-die situations where one bad game ends their tournament run.
Week 2 continues from March 27 to March 29. The field narrows as only the toughest squads survive. Strategy matters more than ever because mistakes cost everything.
Week 3 closes from April 3 to April 5. Final knockout matches determine which teams reach the Grand Finals. The stress peaks here as teams battle for their championship dreams.
FFMIC 2026 Grand Finals
Everything builds to the Grand Finals on April 18 and 19. Day one features the Point Rush format on April 18. Teams compete across multiple matches, stacking points to position themselves for the final push.
Day two switches to Champion Rush format on April 19. This determines the ultimate winner. The first squad to hit the point target while securing a Booyah wins it all. Crown, prize money, and EWC qualification, everything rides on this day.
City Qualifiers Add Extra Hype to FFMIC 2026
City Qualifiers bring back offline grassroots competition. Kolkata, Hyderabad, Lucknow, and Ahmedabad host these events at college venues and indoor arenas. Teams outside these cities must travel to compete.
The offline format creates an electric atmosphere. Fans can watch live, and players feel real LAN pressure. With 144 teams per city fighting for one slot, these qualifiers deliver nail-biting moments.
All in all, the FFMIC 2026 Spring schedule promises non-stop action from February through April. Qualifiers test depth, Group Stage checks consistency, Knockouts demand clutch plays, and Finals crown legends.
So, mark your calendars, follow your favourite teams, and get ready for India's biggest Free Fire Max tournament of the year.
