On March 20, 2026, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Philippines opens Season 17. A new venue and its first international player imports and partner mark MPL PH's constant progress as the MOBA game celebrates its 10th anniversary.
MPL PH Season 17's battle cry, "Palag na 'To!," represents Filipino gaming culture's brave, competitive mentality. Palag—a common pregame expression—represents confidence, resilience, and the willingness to fight any opponent, regardless of the odds. The campaign represents MPL PH's grit, ambition, and the community's passion to advance Filipino esports.
New Venue and Player Imports
MPL PH S7 matches will be held at Victoria Sports Tower in South Triangle, Epifanio de los Santos Ave., Diliman, Quezon City, starting on March 20, 2026.
Victoria Sports Tower, the Philippines' largest indoor sports gym, improves MPL Philippines' live competition and fan experience. The move underscores MLBB esports' continuous growth and professionalization in the country, delivering a larger, purpose-built arena for greater live crowds and more immersive entertainment.
MPL PH's first Indonesian imports, Sultan "AeronnShikii" Muhammad and Clayton "Savero" Kuswanto, are set to debut in Season 17. Their entrance shows the league's international reach and establishes MPL Philippines as a regional hub for global talent, solidifying the country's status as a global MLBB esports leader.
MPL PH Season 17 - Match Schedule and Format
MPL PH Season 17 Regular Season is slated for March 20 to May 17, 2026, with eight weeks of intense action among the country's finest Mobile Legends teams.
