From January 3 to 25, 2026, top teams will compete for a $1 million prize, as well as glory and pride. Who will become the next champion of the Land of Dawn? Here’s what we know so far.

Kicking Off a New Era for MLBB Esports

For the first time, an M-Series event will kick off the new year. This is a big change from the usual December schedule. The new dates help avoid a clash with the upcoming SEA Games in Thailand. This gives fans and teams more time to get ready for one of the biggest esports tournaments of early 2026.

This year’s championship is also a homecoming for Indonesia. The tournament is back for the first time since M4 in 2022, giving Indonesian fans the chance to experience the excitement in person again.

Ticket Sales and Venues

Tickets will go on sale on November 2, only on the official MPL website. Be sure to get yours early to enjoy a 20% early bird discount. It will only be available until November 30.

The matches will take place at two main venues in Jakarta: the MPL Arena XO Hall for the early rounds, and the Tennis Indoor Stadium Senayan (GBK) for the Knockout Stage and Grand Finals. These well-known locations will host some of the most exciting Mobile Legends matches ever.
