MPL MY Season 18 Schedule: Malaysia Time, Break Weeks & Tickets
Published: 2026-08-24
MPL MY Season 18 runs from 14 Ogos to 18 Oktober 2026, and matches go live at 2:30 PM, 5:00 PM or 8:15 PM MYT (GMT+8) on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Every time on this page is Malaysian time. The league plays out of the MPL MY Arena on Level 6 of Quill City Mall Convention Centre, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. Two match weeks are already in the books, and Week 3 brings the league back on 28 Ogos.
Season 18 Week-by-Week Dates in MYT
Eight weeks of regular season do not mean eight weekends back to back. Here is the full frame, drawn from the official MPL Malaysia schedule page.
- Week 1: 14–16 Ogos (played)
- Week 2: 21–23 Ogos (played)
- Week 3: 28–30 Ogos
- Week 4: 4–6 September
- Week 5: 11–13 September
- Week 6: 18–20 September
- Break: 21 September to 4 Oktober
- Week 7: 8–11 Oktober, opening on a Thursday
- Week 8: 16–18 Oktober
Gates open 45 minutes ahead of each slot, so 1:45 PM, 4:15 PM and 7:30 PM. A double round-robin between eight teams puts 56 series on the board across those weeks, which works out to seven per weekend. Fourteen are done.
The League Goes Quiet from 21 September to 4 Oktober
That fortnight is not a holiday. The 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya run from 19 September to 4 Oktober, with the esports programme staged between 23 September and 2 Oktober at Aichi Sky Expo, and Mobile Legends is one of eleven medal events on that slate. Rather than schedule league matches against national-team duty and a medal broadcast, MPL Malaysia stands down for the window.
A second wrinkle sits at the far end of the calendar. Week 7's Saturday fixtures were moved forward to Thursday, 8 Oktober, clearing space for MLBB's 10th anniversary. Season 18 therefore carries exactly one four-day match block, and it is the only stretch of the year when league play lands on a weekday.
Selangor Red Giants Lead a Table Tighter Than It Looks
Through the close of Week 2 on 23 Ogos, the standings sat like this:
- Selangor Red Giants: 4-0, 11 points
- Bigetron MY by VIT: 3-1, 8 points
- Invictus Gaming: 3-1, 8 points
- Team Vamos: 2-1, 5 points
- Team Rey: 2-2, 7 points
- Team Flash: 0-3, 2 points
- AC Esports: 0-3, 1 point
- RRQ Tora: 0-3, 0 points
Two details reward a second look. Selangor Red Giants are unbeaten yet hold 11 points instead of a clean 12, which says at least one of those four series was dragged to a deciding game rather than swept. Team Rey are fifth on 2-2 with seven points while Team Vamos are fourth on 2-1 with five, so Vamos carry a series in hand and the middle of that table can reorder itself in a single weekend.
Moonton built the season's marketing around exactly that spread, under the "8 Cerita" banner. "Every one of the eight teams enters as a genuine title contender, giving every fan a journey," said Krystal Tan, Head of Market (Esports) at MOONTON Games, in the league's Season 18 announcement. The reward is specific: the two best Malaysian sides book seats at the M8 World Championship in Istanbul.
Ringgit Math for a Nine-Week Grind
A season this long carries a cost, because most Malaysian players top up alongside the broadcast. New skins land, pro teams debut a hero, and the itch follows within the hour. Where you buy those diamonds decides the number on your bank statement.
Compare like for like. On the Malaysian App Store listing, Mobile Legends sells 250 Diamonds at RM25.50, 500 Diamonds at RM51.90 and 1,000 Diamonds at RM104.90. REDX Game lists 278 Diamonds (253 + 25 bonus) at RM19.30, 565 Diamonds at RM39.18 and 1,084 Diamonds at RM74.54. The top tier is the loudest of the three: RM74.54 against RM104.90 is a RM30.36 gap, and you walk away with 84 extra diamonds rather than fewer.
That same gap shows up in the Weekly Diamond Pass, only stretched over time. Apple charges RM10.50 a week for it; the same pass sits at RM8.29 on REDX Game's Mobile Legends page. Buying one every week from the Season 18 opener through the final regular-season weekend means nine passes, so RM94.50 against RM74.61. Keeping RM19.89 across a season, without changing a thing about how you play, is money that simply stays in your account.
Delivery speed matters more than usual during a live broadcast. REDX Game advertises 1–3 minute delivery, prices in ringgit only, and takes Malaysian payment methods, so a mid-stream restock does not cost you the next draft. Senang gila. Every denomination quoted above, first-time recharge bundles included, sits on a single REDX Game order page.
Season 18 Questions Malaysian Fans Keep Asking
What time do MPL MY Season 18 matches start?
Matches begin at 2:30 PM, 5:00 PM or 8:15 PM MYT (GMT+8), Friday through Sunday. Gates open 45 minutes before each slot.
When is Week 3 of MPL MY Season 18?
Week 3 runs 28 to 30 Ogos 2026 at the MPL MY Arena in Kuala Lumpur.
Why is there no MPL Malaysia action in late September?
The league pauses from 21 September to 4 Oktober for the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, where Mobile Legends is a medal event between 23 September and 2 Oktober.
Where is the MPL MY Arena?
Level 6, Quill City Mall Convention Centre, 1018 Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur.
How many Malaysian teams qualify for the M8 World Championship?
Two. The top pair from Season 18 travel to Istanbul for M8.
When does the Season 18 regular season finish?
Week 8 closes on 18 Oktober 2026, and the playoff bracket follows after that.
Is the Weekly Diamond Pass worth it across Season 18?
Nine weeks of passes come to RM94.50 through Apple and RM74.61 at REDX Game. It pays back fastest for anyone who plays on every match night.
Is buying diamonds outside the game actually cheaper?
On the listings above, yes. A 1,084-diamond pack costs RM74.54 at REDX Game against RM104.90 for 1,000 diamonds through the App Store.
Turning Up at Quill City Mall Without Wasting the Trip
The arena is not large, and the 8:15 PM Saturday slot fills first. Tickets move through the official schedule page, and unpaid pending orders are cleared every fifteen minutes, so a "sold out" screen is worth a second look a quarter of an hour later. Patience beats refreshing every ten seconds.
Getting there is straightforward from the city centre. Quill City Mall sits on Jalan Sultan Ismail, a short walk from the Medan Tuanku monorail stop, which makes the trip from Petaling Jaya or Shah Alam far kinder than the parking situation suggests. Anyone travelling in from Johor Bahru or Penang should build a weekend around Week 7, the Thursday-to-Sunday block on 8–11 Oktober, since four days of matches deliver the most value per hotel night of any week this season.
Sort your diamonds out before you leave the house. Arena Wi-Fi is shared with a working shopping mall, and a payment that stalls at 8:10 PM is a rotten way to open the night. A quick MLBB top-up at REDX Game earlier in the day removes that risk entirely, and the diamonds are already sitting in your account when Selangor Red Giants pick first. Memang best.
