The tournament brought together 32 elite players, expanded from 28 in the previous year, who were divided into four teams: the Blitzers, Hurricanes, Lightning, and Rockets. Each team consisted of eight players, four men and four women. The match format was designed for fast-paced, high-intensity action, featuring two singles matches and two mixed 3×3 matches per team tie. Each game lasted for eight minutes, with new features like the “Ultimate Shuttle Showdown” and “Pressure Point” adding to the unpredictability and excitement.
The BDMNTN-XL Jakarta offered a lucrative total prize pool of US$750,000 (MYR 3,153,750), with the winning team receiving a substantial US$350,000 to be shared among its players. The event also featured two-time Olympic gold medalist Viktor Axelsen as its Global Ambassador, highlighting its growing profile in the badminton world. The event was streamed live on SPOTV and tickets were available to the public, showcasing its appeal as a sports entertainment spectacle.
