The MLBB Mid Season Cup 2026 kicks off with the Group Stage, where the 16 qualified teams are split into two groups of eight. Each group operates on a double-elimination format, with every match played as a best-of-three (BO3) series. The top four teams from each group will move on to the Knockout Stage, while the bottom four will be eliminated.
In the Knockout Stage, teams that finish the Group Stage with a 2-0 record get to choose their quarterfinal opponent from the pool of teams that advance with a 2-1 record. The selection order is based on each team’s point differential (game wins minus game losses), followed by total winning time during the Group Stage. If teams are still tied, tiebreakers will compare the shortest and longest durations of individual game victories and overall match wins.
All Knockout Stage matches will be played as best-of-five (BO5) series, except for the grand final, which will be a best-of-seven (BO7) showdown.
You can catch all the matches live through the official broadcast channels for Mobile Legends and the Esports World Cup, with regional broadcasts also available in various areas.
