PlayStation India Cup 2025 finale: Where and when
The 2025 edition marks the fourth year of the PlayStation India Cup, run in partnership with NODWIN Gaming. What started as a niche competition for EA FC loyalists is now a regular fixture at Delhi Comic Con, drawing thousands of visitors who pack themselves around the Gaming Arena to watch the last matches unfold in real time. This year, the finals will once again be held inside the massive NODWIN Gaming Arena at NSIC Grounds, New Delhi on December 6 and 7.
Through October and November, players from across India joined daily online qualifiers straight from their PS5 consoles. These sessions led into intense double elimination playoffs that eventually narrowed the competition to eight names. All eight finalists will now take the LAN stage in front of fans, creators, and the wider EA FC community.
The final eight who made it to the LAN showdown
After weeks of competition, the players who have secured their place at the national finale are Charanjot Singh, Afnan Khan, Karman Tikka, Chaitanya Singh, Amaanuddin Warsi, Saransh Jain, Aditya Chadha, and Jahaan Khan. Each of them survived the same best of two, home and away style format used throughout the online phase. Their performance during the qualifiers has already earned them a reputation among PS5 football enthusiasts, and now they get a chance to convert that momentum into a national title.
To honour the effort taken to reach this stage, all finalists will receive official PlayStation gear, including the premium DualSense Edge controller.
Format, prize pool, and what fans can expect
The LAN stage will continue with the same format as the online leg. Players get multiple opportunities to recover through the double elimination structure, which means one bad game won’t automatically end their run. Across the two day finale, one player will emerge as the PlayStation India Cup 2025 Champion and take home the ₹4,00,000 prize pool.
Along with the competition itself, fans can expect a packed weekend at Delhi Comic Con. NODWIN Gaming has planned an expanded experience this year, with hands on PlayStation zones, creator sessions, and live match broadcasts that capture every goal, miss, and comeback. For EA FC fans, this is one of the few moments in the year where the football gaming community comes together offline, and the atmosphere has traditionally been electric.
As the finale approaches, players and fans alike are counting down the days. With the country’s top EA FC 26 players sharing one stage, the 2025 edition of the PlayStation India Cup is ready to deliver a grand finish worthy of its growing legacy.
