OnePlus Brings Campus Dominate 2026 to 16 Universities

OnePlus has unveiled the third edition of Campus Dominate 2026, expanding its collegiate esports initiative to 16 universities across eight Indian cities. The nationwide tournament will feature BGMI 4v4 competition, with the winning team from each campus advancing to the Grand LAN Finale in New Delhi in August 2026.

Teams will compete for an INR 10L prize pool. Every match, from campus qualifiers to the final, will be played exclusively on the OnePlus Nord 6.

The two-month roadshow is designed to bring competitive gaming directly to college campuses. It combines esports with creator interactions, product experiences, and community activities. OnePlus stated that the event is expected to engage more than 100K students alongside over 50 creators.

OnePlus Scales Up its Collegiate Esports Initiative

Campus Dominate 2026 will travel across Hyderabad, Pune, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, New Delhi, Jaipur, and Noida. The campaign began on June 29, 2026, at G H Raisoni College of Engineering and Management in Pune. More than 3.5K students attended the event, including 893 Campus Pro players.

The first campus champion has already secured a direct berth in the Grand LAN Finale.

Beyond the tournament, the OnePlus Gaming Truck will feature Nord experience zones, creator meet-and-greets, gaming challenges, merchandise giveaways, quiz competitions, interactive activities, and UGC contests. The roadshow will also host a Creator Lobby, where campus creators can compete for the title of best campus creator and win a OnePlus Nord 6.

OnePlus Backs Grassroots Esports in India

Campus Dominate 2025 attracted more than 12K students, with champions Nebula Esports later entering the professional esports scene. Meanwhile, Campus Dominate 2026 expands the initiative with more campuses, greater creator participation, and a doubled prize pool.

Commenting on the initiative, Ishita Grover, Director of Marketing at OnePlus India, stated that the company expanded Campus Dominate after identifying gaming as a major interest among Gen Z. She added that the initiative aims to create opportunities for emerging players and strengthen grassroots esports by building a pathway from college competitions to India's professional gaming ecosystem.

Eligible students at participating universities can now register for Campus Dominate 2026.
