by

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is excited to host the MSL 2026 event, bringing top esports players and teams from Thailand back into the competition.

MOONTON Games has announced the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Super League (MSL), launching in Thailand in 2026. This new league represents a significant investment in Thai esports, focusing on creating content with local creators, building a strong community, and ultimately making Thailand a leading esports country on the world stage.

Thailand hasn’t been a major player on the global stage for a while, but Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is working to change that. They’re investing in the country with programs to build up local players and provide a route for them to compete internationally, potentially sparking a resurgence for Thai esports.

With plans for growth in 2026, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) sees MSL Thailand 2026 as a key event for the region. It’s designed to connect Thailand’s history in esports with its goals for what’s to come.

MLBB Super League Thailand officially launches in 2026

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has officially launched the MLBB Super League Thailand. This signals Thailand’s return as a key player in the international esports scene. Instead of starting over, the league builds on Thailand’s existing, strong competitive gaming community and acknowledges the country’s long history of competitive play.

This league is a key part of the future of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang esports in Thailand. It provides a consistent and organized system that helps teams, players, and organizations develop and compete on a world stage.

MSL Thailand 2026 participating teams

The inaugural season of MSL Thailand in 2026 will include eight invited teams, bringing together the biggest and most well-known names in Thai esports.

  • FULL SENSE
  • Bacon Time
  • Buriram United
  • Esports
  • SOLYX
  • eArena
  • Tenacity
  • Hydra
  • King of Gamers Club

The teams competing include both well-established names and exciting new challengers. This sets the stage for a highly competitive final where teams will be judged on their skill, flexibility, and ability to perform consistently. This is the M7 World Championship Grand Finals.

Reconnecting Thailand to MLBB’s Global competitive ecosystem

Thailand is making a significant comeback to the world of MLBB esports. They were once a leading team, famously winning the very first MLBB Southeast Asia Cup in 2017. Since then, Thailand has consistently demonstrated its strength in esports, both by hosting major international events and by including MLBB as a medal sport in the SEA Games on several occasions.

The launch of MSL Thailand is MLBB’s way of giving Thai teams and players a clear route back to competing at a high level, letting them test their skills against top teams from around the world and earn international acclaim.

A Long-term vision beyond a single season

Hao Zhen Siew, who leads MLBB Esports in Thailand, explains that the Super League isn’t just a quick initiative – it’s a key part of building a long-term, stable future for the league.

We’re excited to welcome Thailand back to the world of MLBB esports and build on its strong history of competition. We’re dedicated to creating a thriving and lasting esports scene in Thailand, supporting players, teams, content creators, fans, sponsors, and the next generation of MLBB stars.

MLBB aims to do more than just host a great league. It’s dedicated to creating a thriving environment for players, teams, content creators, fans, and the next generation of esports stars, with the goal of making Thailand a consistently strong and competitive force in the global MLBB esports scene.

Looking ahead to 2026, MSL Thailand aims to reestablish Thailand as a top competitor in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), not just as a team participating again, but as a leading force.
