MPL MY Season 18 Malaysia Time: Week 1 Live 14 Ogos 2026, 5 PM MYT
Published: 2026-08-03
MPL MY Season 18 kicks off Friday, 14 Ogos 2026 at 5:00 PM MYT, when All Combo (AC) faces Bigetron MY by VIT (BTRM) at Level 6, Quill City Mall Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur. Eight partner teams. A double round robin. And a Malaysian league that has quietly become one of the more watchable regional splits in Mobile Legends. If you plan to buy diamonds for MPL fantasy picks, watch the meta shift live, or grab a Kaja skin for a redraft, this REDX Game guide gives you the confirmed schedule, the roster, the local prices, and the pitfalls to avoid before Week 1 tips off.
MPL MY S18 Opens Week 1 With SRG vs iG on Saturday Night
Regular season runs 14 Ogos to 18 Oktober 2026 at the Quill City Mall arena in Kuala Lumpur. Moonton, the Malaysia Esports Federation (MESF), and Esports Integrated (ESI) confirmed the eight-team Partnership Programme lineup back in February. Krystal Tan of MOONTON framed the format shift in the official press release: "The Partnership Programme is a pioneering move that goes beyond MPL Malaysia. By bringing together local and international teams to compete on home soil, we are not just raising the competitive bar, but shaping a stronger league" (Moonton announcement, 24 Feb 2026).
Week 1 opens quietly on Friday with two matches, then goes wide on Saturday. Selangor Red Giants versus Invictus Gaming is the marquee Saturday night draw at 8:15 PM MYT, and Sunday closes with the SRG rematch against Team Rey. Gates open 45 minutes before each match. Ticket-holders in Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam should factor Friday evening traffic on the Federal Highway if they want the AC vs BTRM opener; the venue confirms this in its schedule page. All times listed here and throughout the article are MYT (GMT+8).
Full Week 1 Fixtures and Where To Watch From Malaysia
REDX Game has pulled the exact opening-weekend slate from the official MPL Malaysia schedule page (my.mpl.mobilelegends.com/schedule). Save this for your calendar.
- Jumaat, 14 Ogos — AC vs BTRM at 5:00 PM MYT; VMS vs Team Flash at 8:15 PM MYT.
- Sabtu, 15 Ogos — Team Flash vs BTRM at 2:30 PM; RRQ TORA vs Team Rey at 5:00 PM; SRG vs iG at 8:15 PM.
- Ahad, 16 Ogos — iG vs RRQ TORA at 2:30 PM; Team Rey vs SRG at 5:00 PM.
Seven matches. Two SRG appearances. One Kuala Lumpur venue. That is a heavier draw for Selangor Red Giants than any Week 1 slate the league has run since S16, and the double-round-robin format means every one of those matches counts toward playoff seeding. Streaming will run on the official MPL Malaysia YouTube and Facebook channels; the Malaysian broadcast usually carries a Bahasa Malaysia and English commentary split.
Scam Warning: Fake MPL Ticket and Diamond Sellers Are Already Circulating
Every MPL MY opening week attracts scam listings on WhatsApp broadcast lists and TikTok comment sections. The pattern is depressingly familiar. Sellers advertise MPL MY S18 tickets at half price, ask for FPX or DuitNow QR transfer, then vanish. Others promise "MPL bonus diamonds" of 500D for RM 10, well below any legitimate Malaysian top-up price. If a seller cannot show you the MOONTON operator interface or take your Mobile Legends ID before payment, walk away.
REDX Game has been shipping Malaysian MLBB diamonds since 2021 with 1–3 minute delivery, MYR-only pricing, and every mainstream local payment method: FPX, DuitNow QR, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, and card. That verifiable trail, plus a real business address, is what separates a licensed reseller from a WhatsApp handle you cannot trace. Skip the risk. Buy your MLBB diamonds through REDX and check the confirmation SMS lands before you finalise your Week 1 lineup.
Ringgit Math: What A Season Of MPL Fandom Actually Costs
Let us do the ringgit arithmetic honestly, because the App Store gap is the single strongest reason Malaysian players top up locally. A common medium diamond pack in MLBB currently lands around RM 50 at REDX Game for roughly 430 Diamonds, while the same tier on the Apple App Store bills at about RM 65 for around 425 Diamonds once Malaysian consumption tax is added at checkout. That is a real RM 15 gap on one pack, for slightly fewer diamonds, before you even factor in App Store's regional price rounding.
Extend that gap across an average MPL fan's spend — one Starlight per month, one collector skin for the Titans line, and a fixed diamond pack the day of a big draft — and you are looking at RM 60 to RM 90 of pure App Store overhead across a single MPL MY season. Boleh tahan waste of a ringgit. The Weekly Diamond Pass on the App Store runs about US$1.59 (roughly RM 7.30) after Malaysian tax rounding (Buffget, 2026 pricing); REDX offers it in ringgit at the local rate with no currency conversion opacity. If you are stacking multiple packs across Week 1 through the mid-season Playoffs, the compound savings become the whole point.
REDX Game charges in MYR. No surprise conversion. Zero App Store 30% cut baked into the number you tap. That is the practical case for a licensed Malaysian MLBB top-up on REDX over Apple's default rail.
Are MPL Malaysia S18 matches free to attend at Quill City Mall?
Ticketing is handled through the official MPL Malaysia site. Some group-stage matches during previous seasons offered walk-in seating on a first-come basis, but S18 has moved to a proper ticketed model for the playoff weekends. Check my.mpl.mobilelegends.com/schedule for the exact match you want; gate times open 45 minutes before match start.
What time is SRG vs iG on 15 Ogos in Malaysia time?
SRG vs Invictus Gaming tips off Saturday, 15 Ogos 2026 at 8:15 PM MYT (GMT+8). Gates open at 7:30 PM. Expect the queue for the SRG-side lower bowl to form well before that; it always does in Kuala Lumpur.
Which teams from MPL MY S18 will qualify for M7 World Championship?
MPL Malaysia retains its regional M-series slot allocation. The top finishers from the S18 playoffs will book the Malaysian representation at M7, following the same pathway that sent SRG through the 2025 cycle. Exact slot counts are confirmed closer to playoffs; check the official MPL announcement before betting on a specific team's qualification.
Adakah REDX Game menjual bundle skin MPL Selangor Red Giants?
Skin bundles and event-specific packs are tied to the in-game store, not to third-party resellers. What REDX Game does supply is the MLBB diamond load you need to buy those bundles the moment they drop in the MPL event tab. Top up first, react to the store in-app, and you avoid the "sold out before I could top up" trap that catches half of MPL fans every season.
Boleh saya guna DuitNow untuk beli diamond MLBB melalui REDX?
Ya. DuitNow QR, FPX, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, and card are all supported. Delivery lands in 1–3 minutes on the advertised timing. Keep the payment SMS confirmation; that is your receipt if you ever need to raise a support ticket.
Local Notes: KL Traffic, Bahasa Streams, And Why MPL MY Reads Different This Season
The Quill City Mall arena sits a walking minute from KL Sentral if you take the LRT to Kampung Baru and cross Sultan Ismail. Drive in from Petaling Jaya or Shah Alam and you will fight Friday jam from 4 PM; take Grab or the MRT. Senang gila kalau naik train. For anyone tuning in from Johor Bahru, Ipoh, Penang, or Kuching, the official MPL Malaysia YouTube stream carries the full slate with Bahasa Malaysia and English commentary; the Bahasa cast usually leans more analytical during draft phases, which is a nicer watch if you are building a mock draft for your own scrims.
