The Wild Card begins with a tough elimination format, in which 10 teams compete in two groups for a Main Stage slot.
After missing the MSC 2025 Wild Card, Team Falcons MENA and The MongolZ, out to redeem themselves, are leading the field with international experience. In good form after winning the first MLBB Super League Thailand Season 1, King of Gamers Club joins a wide cast of contenders.
The Wild Card pits seasoned worldwide competitors against rising regional contenders in a furious battle for Mobile Legends' greatest stage.
The draw for the Main Stage's last 16 teams will follow the Wild Card. To foster ecosystem growth, MSC 2026 introduced a new structure to make championship contention harder. MLBB Esports wants to boost the competitive landscape and make Mobile Legends a top esports discipline.

Meanwhile, the final 16 squads for the MLBB Women's International (MWI) at EWC 2026 have qualified for the tournament's most globally diverse edition yet, with qualification pathways covering over 60 regions and new Western Europe qualifiers.
