The hunt for the next big stars in Indian mobile gaming has officially started. The CDM 2026 India Qualifiers are finally here. With a massive $300,000 prize pool at the China Majors 2026 on the line, the stakes have never been higher for the Indian Call of Duty Mobile gaming community.
CDM 2026 India Qualifiers: Tournament Timeline and Format
This year’s qualification process is particularly significant. While GodLike Esports has already secured a direct invitation due to their consistent dominance, two additional regional slots are up for grabs.
This means India will have a significant presence in China, sending three elite teams to represent the tricolor.
It starts with an open registration where 64 teams will face off, but only the strongest will move forward for further stages
- Registration: You can register from February 1st to 3rd through the Sweats Den Discord.
- Open Qualifiers: These take place on February 4th and 5th. It is a “knockout” format, so if your team loses once, you are out of the tournament.
- Elite 8 Round Robin: The best 8 teams will play from February 8th to 15th. These matches will be shown live for everyone to watch
