Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) China Masters 2026 Season 2 to kick off before MSC 2026

Story Highlights

  • Mobile Legends China Masters returns for Season 2 after a successful debut.
  • The China-exclusive tournament will feature eight teams, with potential slots for MSC 2026.

Following a strong first event, the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang China Masters is returning for its second season. The MLBB China Masters 2026 Season 2 is set to begin shortly, featuring eight teams and potentially earning the top performers one or two spots at the MSC 2026 tournament in July. Hosted by MOONTON Games, this event, exclusive to China, is an important step in growing the game’s popularity within the country.

MLBB China Masters 2026 Season 2: Schedule and Format

This year’s esports competition will have a new format. We don’t have the dates or schedule yet, but we do know teams will now be limited to only one international player.

Additionally, the league won’t allow importing players who play the jungle position. This is intended to give domestic players and new talent more opportunities. The league is also switching to a promotion and relegation system, where teams can move between divisions based on their performance.

The recent M7 tournament was a big win for the game, and plans are already in place for 2026. Now, with a domestic event in China, the game aims to gain popularity by competing with Honor of Kings.

Prize Pool

The prize money for the next season hasn’t been revealed yet, but it’s expected to be about $150,000, plus extra prizes and tickets to international competitions. I’ll update this article with the full details as soon as they’re available.

Participating Teams

Eight teams will compete in this event. Five of those teams are returning from last season, while the other three earned their spots through a qualifying tournament. I already know which teams participated last season, and here’s the complete list of teams that will be competing:

  • DianFengYaoGuai
  • Guangzhou Gaming
  • KeepBest Gaming
  • YBinGame
  • Ying Jiang Nan
  • TBD
  • TBD
  • TBD

The winning team from the previous tournament automatically qualified for the M7 World Championship, and the second-place team competed in the Wildcard round. We expect a similar format this time, with the top team going straight to MSC 2026 and the runner-up entering the Wildcard stage, instead of the M8 championship.
