MPL Philippines seasons
 2022

The 2023 MPL Philippines season was the sixth year of professional Esports competitions for the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League of the Philippines (referred to as: MPL Philippines). The 2023 season features two seasonal splits: MPL Philippines Season 11 and MPL Philippines Season 12. It was during this year that the inaugural Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Development League was introduced to the Philippines with MDL Philippines Season 1 occurring as the preceding event prior to MPL Philippines Season 11.

MPL Philippines Season 11 was the first season for the year 2023 and was the first professional season for the league after the MLBB M4 World Championships. Defending champions Blacklist International were beaten by the M4 World Champions ECHO Philippines during the Season 11 Grand Finals and was the first sweep by a team in the Finals since Season 1 between Aether Main and Digital Devils Pro Team. [1] [2] ECHO and Blacklist would qualify as the two teams of the Philippines to the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup (MSC 2023) in Cambodia. [3] Blacklist International would boast the best performance by a Filipino team in the aforementioned competition as the team loss 4–2 to Indonesian team ONIC Esports with two Filipino imports in Kairi Rayosdelsol and Yeb Miranda. [4] ECHO Philippines finished in third place, defeating home-team BURN x FLASH, 3–2. [5]

MPL Philippines Season 12 began in September 2023, 4 months after the Grand Finals match of MPL Philippines Season 11. Season 12 was the qualifying tournament for the Philippines to the MLBB M5 World Championships that will be played on home soil. [6] Defending world champions and MPL champions ECHO Philippines failed to defend their world title and MPL title after losing to Blacklist International, who has included the services of Renejay "Renejay" Barcase to the roster, 3–1 in the Lower Bracket Finals to qualify for M5. [7] Blacklist International is the only team in the Philippines to qualify for three-consecutive world championship series, appearing since the M3 World Championship which the team won. [8] AP Bren would defeat Blacklist International in the Grand Finals 4–1 to give the organization its second MPL title. [9] Furthermore, AP Bren would win the M5 World Championships on home soil as they defeat Indonesia's ONIC Esports 4–3 in the Grand Finals, making them the only organization thus far to win two world championships. [10]

During the 2023 season, Filipino teams have won one M-World Series titles and one MPLI Invitational titles with RSG Philippines defeating ECHO in an all-Filipino Grand Finals. [11]
