MPL Malaysia Season 18 Schedule 2026: MYT Kickoff, Teams & Format
Published: 2026-07-30
MPL Malaysia Season 18 opens on Jumaat, 14 Ogos 2026 at 5:00 PM MYT (GMT+8), when AC Esports meet Bigetron MY by VIT at MPL MY Arena, Level 6 Quill City Mall Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur. Prime-time kickoff follows at 8:15 PM MYT: Team Vamos versus Team Flash. All matches this Regular Season are Bo3, spread across a double round-robin between the 8 partner teams, with the season running through 18 October 2026. Every kickoff time on this page is Malaysian, so no conversion homework tonight.
REDX Game is publishing this 15 days out so Malaysian fans can plan viewing schedules, top up MLBB Diamonds before the ticket rush, and diarise the marquee weekends without hunting through five sources. Data is verified against the official MPL MY schedule portal and MPL Malaysia league records. If Moonton shifts any slot, this page refreshes in place.
Jadual Rasmi Week 1 dan MYT Timing
Week 1 packs seven matches into three consecutive nights. Gates open 45 minutes before each match. Below is the confirmed lineup from the official MPL MY portal, memorable dates for the calendar app before the Selangor Red Giants title defence begins.
- Jumaat 14 Ogos: AC vs BTRM at 5:00 PM MYT; VMS vs FL at 8:15 PM MYT.
- Sabtu 15 Ogos: FL vs BTRM at 2:30 PM MYT; RRQ vs TR at 5:00 PM MYT; SRG vs iG at 8:15 PM MYT.
- Ahad 16 Ogos: iG vs RRQ at 2:30 PM MYT; TR vs SRG at 5:00 PM MYT.
The reigning champions Selangor Red Giants, winners of five consecutive titles through Season 17, play their first fixture on Sabtu night against Invictus Gaming, then close the weekend against Team Rey on Ahad evening. That back-to-back opener is the earliest chance to see whether Innocent and Sekysss carry the "system-first" identity into a sixth crown chase. Team Vamos, who lost 0-4 to SRG in the S17 Grand Final on 7 June 2026, get their revenge shot deferred until later in the round-robin.
Patch 2.1.90 Impact on MPL Draft Meta
Season 18 opens on Patch 2.1.90, the mid-season revision released 8 Julai 2026 that reshaped tank-jungle priority. The patch delivered 4 nerfs and 7 buffs, and the ripples reach every draft phase teams will run at Quill City Mall.
Baxia, Fredrinn and Akai, the S17 tank-jungler trio picked or banned in over 80 per cent of Playoff games last season, all lost jungling speed and early clear damage. Coach rooms across MPL MY have spent the interbreak rebuilding jungle pathing around Aulus, whose chase distance was extended, and Nolan, whose skill haste got restored. Esmeralda re-enters the exp-lane priority list. Minsitthar and Argus finally get scaling numbers that read like a tier-list threat.
Expect three concrete draft shifts in Week 1. Marksman priority tilts back toward Karrie and Melissa, because the tank duel is no longer decided in the first three minutes. Nolan-Aulus pair picks return to blue-side first-pick territory. Balmond, whose new "Vulcan Lionheart" collector skin drops 1 Ogos, becomes a permaban candidate on any comp that already secured a fast-clear jungler. Analyst Michael "Faceless" Cheah wrote for GosuGamers on 25 Julai 2026, "the tank-jungle nerfs are the biggest single-patch reset MPL MY has seen since Patch 1.8.60, expect draft trees to be rewritten inside Week 2."
Patch 2.1.91 is expected on the MLBB Advanced Server around 5 Ogos 2026 and may hit Original Server before Week 2. Teams will play the opener on 2.1.90 either way, since official patch-lock windows apply, so the meta reads above are safe for the first 7 matches.
Kira Kos Diamond untuk Musim Sokongan Penuh
A full-season MLBB Diamond budget matters if you plan to buy the Bigetron, Selangor or RRQ team-branded skins during S18 promo drops. Here is the math done in Ringgit, not translated from USD.
App Store pricing for a 425-Diamond top-up in Malaysia sits at RM 219 on the direct Apple in-app purchase. That same value lands at RM 175 through the REDX Game 430-Diamond stack for Malaysia (5 extra Diamonds, no login handover). One top-up saves RM 44, or 20 per cent on the exact same currency. Do that four times across the ten-week Regular Season and the Ringgit differential clocks in at RM 176, enough to buy a mid-tier collector skin outright, cash in hand.
Take the projected Season 18 team-skin bundle at 1,412 Diamonds (three-hero pack; sizing follows the S17 SRG bundle). REDX Game currently sells the 1,412-Diamond stack for RM 550 while the Apple App Store equivalent hovers around RM 686, which shakes out to RM 136 saved on every single bundle drop a Malaysian fan buys. Stack that across two bundle drops per season, Regular Season and Playoffs, and Malaysian fans keep RM 272 on their Boost balance instead of feeding Apple's cut. Pro teams in KL know this maths already; casual fans in Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and Johor Bahru often do not.
Delivery windows sit at 1 to 3 minutes for MLBB Diamonds after DuitNow, Boost or Touch 'n Go clears, the same speed as during last season's SRG-Vamos final rush, when 740,146 concurrent viewers made the App Store queue crawl. Pre-loading before Sabtu 8:15 PM kickoff is the practical move.
Cara Top Up MLBB Diamond untuk MPL MY S18
Four taps close the whole flow, which matters when a match starts in twelve minutes and you still want the S18 opening banner.
- Open the REDX Game MLBB Malaysia top-up page on any browser, no app install required.
- Enter your MLBB User ID and Zone ID (Server ID). Both are visible in the game profile card, top-left corner of the lobby.
- Pick your Diamond stack. Two Season 18 planning defaults: the 430-Diamond tier covers Starlight, the 1,412-Diamond tier covers team-bundle drops.
- Pay with DuitNow, Boost or Touch 'n Go eWallet. Diamonds arrive in 1 to 3 minutes, in-game notification confirms.
REDX Game is a Malaysian-registered top-up service billed in Ringgit only. No FX surprises, no "USD equivalent" trap when the credit card statement lands next month.
Soalan Lazim MPL Malaysia Season 18
Bila MPL Malaysia Season 18 bermula?
The Regular Season kicks off on Jumaat, 14 Ogos 2026, at 5:00 PM MYT with AC Esports versus Bigetron MY by VIT. Prime-time slot follows at 8:15 PM MYT with Team Vamos against Team Flash. Full season runs through 18 Oktober 2026, with a two-week Asian Games break from 21 September to 4 Oktober.
Di mana boleh tonton MPL MY S18 di Malaysia?
The live venue is MPL MY Arena at Level 6, Quill City Mall Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur. Tickets sell through Ticket2u. Streams run free on the official MPL Malaysia YouTube channel, Facebook page and TikTok, with Bahasa Malaysia and English casters. No geo-lock for Malaysian IPs.
Pasukan mana bertanding dalam MPL Malaysia Season 18?
Eight partner teams line up: Selangor Red Giants (SRG), Team Vamos (VMS), Team Rey (TR), RRQ Tora (RRQ), Bigetron MY by VIT (BTRM), AC Esports (AC), Invictus Gaming (iG), and Team Flash (FL). Same partnership roster as Season 17, since this is the second season of the franchise-style Partnership Programme.
Berapa hadiah wang untuk MPL Malaysia Season 18?
Season 18's prize pool is TBA (to be announced) as of 30 Julai 2026. For context, the S17 pool was USD 100,000 (roughly RM 470,000 at prevailing rates), a reasonable baseline until Moonton publishes the S18 breakdown. Champion, MVP and Regular Season MVP purses usually land closer to Playoffs.
Adakah perlawanan MPL MY setiap hujung minggu?
Yes, but not every weekend has three days. Week 1 uses Jumaat, Sabtu and Ahad. Later weeks typically use two match days. The Asian Games break (21 September to 4 Oktober) means zero MPL MY matches for two full weekends, so plan Diamond spending around that gap.
Bila jangka masa Playoffs dijalankan?
Regular Season closes 18 Oktober 2026. Playoffs follow immediately using the Hybrid Elimination format: seeds 3 to 6 play Round 1 single-elim, seeds 1 and 2 receive a bye into Round 2 double-elim. Grand Final is Bo7. Exact Playoff match dates get announced in Week 4 traditionally.
Tempat Tonton MPL MY di Malaysia
Tickets at the MPL MY Arena in KL cost RM 15 to RM 65 per session depending on match slot. Sabtu 8:15 PM SRG-versus-iG slot sold out first for Season 17. Cyber cafés in Petaling Jaya (Sunway area), Shah Alam and Johor Bahru run projector viewing parties for the big matches; check the MPL MY Facebook page a week before for the official partner-venue list. Boleh tahan crowd, senang gila to make friends over a Team Vamos vs SRG rerun.
For fans in Penang, Ipoh and Kuching who cannot fly down for tickets, the MPL Malaysia YouTube channel streams every Bo3 free with Malay-language casters. Memang best for anyone who prefers "roshan steal!" delivered in the correct dialect. Top up your MLBB Diamonds through the REDX Game Mobile Legends Malaysia page before kickoff to avoid App Store queues during the peak viewership window.
