The 2025 Mobile Legends: Bang Bang World Championship, commonly referred to as M7 or the M7 World Championship, was the seventh iteration of the international esports tournament for the mobile multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang . It is part of the annual M-series World Championship organized by game developers Moonton Games. M7 was held in Jakarta, Indonesia, from 3 January 2026 until the Grand Finals on 25 January. The M7 World Championship breaks the all viewership records to become the most-watched mobile esports event of all time with 5.68 million Peak Concurrent Viewers (PCV), according to Esports Charts. [1]

It is the second time Indonesia hosted the event after holding the M4 World Championship edition in the same city. M7 is the second world championship to be hosted a year later than it should. This is primarily due to the conflicting schedules with the 2025 SEA Games scheduled at the end of 2025. Twenty-two teams qualified based on their placements within their regional leagues with major and minor regions being relegated in different phases of the tournament.

ONIC Philippines, the defending world champions from MPL Philippines, failed to qualify for the M7 World Championship after being eliminated by TNC Pro Team in the lower bracket of MPL Philippines Season 16. [2] ONIC had previously claimed the world title by defeating Team Liquid Indonesia in the M6 World Championship. [3] Their absence marked the second consecutive instance of a defending champion failing to return to defend their title in M-Series history.

In the third iteration of Philippines vs. Indonesia in the Grand Finals, Aurora Gaming PH defeated Alter Ego Esports, 4-0, to claim the country's 6th consecutive world title. This win makes the team's EXP laner, Edward "Edward" Dapadap, the fourth player to win two M-Series. Dylan "Light" Catipon, the team's Roamer, is awarded the Finals MVP

Qualification

The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League of the Philippines (MPL PH), MPL Indonesia (MPL ID), and MPL Malaysia (MPL MY) each sent two representatives to M7. Representatives from MPL MENA, MTC (Türkiye), VMC (Vietnam), MCS (China), and the MCC (EECA) were each allocated two slots: one directly seeded and one that began from the Wild Card phase. MPL LATAM and MPL Cambodia each secured one direct Group Stage representative, while Japan, Mongolia, and the Mekong region were each granted one Wild Card slot. [4]

Similar to past editions, no team automaticaly qualified for M7. All slots was earned through professional league seasons or qualifiers across these regions. The Wild Card stage determined advancing teams, and for the first time since its inception in M5, two of the winning Wild Card teams had advanced directly into the main group stage. Sixteen teams in total will participate in the second-edition of the Swiss Stage–fourteen whom have directly qualified for the aforementioned stage and the two wild card qualifiers.

M7 saw the return of Japan to the World Championships for the first time since M2. [5] LATAM's representation decreases from two teams in M6 to just one, while Cambodia continues its streak of participation since M1. Mongolia made its third consecutive appearance at the World Championship since M5, and Mekong had once again have a representative at the world stage, continuing its presence since M4. [6]

Venues

The MLBB M7 World Championship is held in Jakarta, Indonesia, across two main venues. The Wild Card, Swiss Stage, and first round of the Knockout Stage will take place at XO Hall (MPL Arena). The tournament will then move to the Gelora Bung Karno Tennis Indoor Stadium (Tennis Indoor Senayan) for the remaining Knockout Stage matches and the Grand Finals. [7] According to Martinus Manurung–head of eSports and business development at Moonton Games–the Indonesia Arena was initially considered for the Knockout Stage or Grand Finals, but it was already booked for another event, [8] leading organizers to relocate the matches to Tennis Indoor Senayan, the same venue used for the MLBB M4 Knockout Stage and Finals. [9]

Tournament Format

The MLBB M7 World Championship featured an expanded competitive structure consisting of three phases: the Wild Card Stage, the Swiss Stage, and the Knockout Stage. The format aimed to provide a more balanced and merit-based progression system while increasing opportunities for emerging regions to qualify for the main event.

Wild Card Stage

The Wild Card Stage featured eight teams divided into two groups of four. Each group competed in a single round-robin, best-of-three (Bo3) format. The top two teams from each group advanced to a cross-group playoff, where the first seed from Group A would face the second seed from Group B, and vice versa. The winners of these best-of-five (Bo5) matches advanced to the Swiss Stage.

This marked the first time in M-Series history that two teams from the Wild Card Stage qualified for the main event.

Swiss Stage

Returning for the second consecutive edition after its debut in M6, the Swiss Stage will feature a five-round system. The first and second rounds will be played as best-of-one (Bo1) matches, while the third, fourth, and fifth rounds will transition to best-of-three (Bo3) series.

Knockout Stage

The Knockout Stage will feature the top eight teams from the Swiss Stage, drawn randomly into a double-elimination bracket, continuing a tradition maintained for the seventh consecutive M-Series championship.

This comprehensive format will emphasize both consistency and adaptability, ensuring that teams from diverse regions will have multiple opportunities to prove themselves across various match lengths and stages.

Draw

Swiss Stage

The Wild Card Draw ceremony for the MLBB M7 World Championships was held on 12 December 2025. The event was hosted by Indonesian MLBB caster Rachael Melati "Aeterna" Nalapraya, who began the proceedings by announcing the in-game introduction of the new MLBB M7 Pass.[ citation needed ]

The official group draw was conducted by two representatives of the tournament's sponsors: Mr. Alfian from Realme and Mrs. Nathalia Nugrahani, Head of Marketing for Visa Inc. Notably, Visa's participation marked the payment giant's inaugural entry into the MLBB esports ecosystem. [19]

Draw Procedure

The Wild Card Draw determined the final group assignments for the eight participating regional teams. These teams were initially divided into two separate seeding pools.

The drawing mechanism ensured balanced grouping: the first team selected by the representatives was allocated to Group A, while the second team drawn was allocated to Group B. This alternating cycle continued until all eight teams were assigned to their respective groups for the upcoming stage.

Crossover Match

The crossover match is a best-of-five matchup between the top two seeds of each group. Whoever wins the Best of 5 advances to the main swiss stage with the first team qualifying for Swiss matching up against Myanmar's Yangon Galacticos and the second being with Indonesia's ONIC Esports.

Down 2–0, Team Zone of Mongolia reverse swept the Chinese runner-ups from the crossover match to qualify to the main swiss stage. Meanwhile, Türkiye's Boostgate Esports denied Mid-Season Cup wildcard winners Virtus.pro in a back-and-forth best-of-5.

Knockout Stage

Similarly to its predecessor M6, the knockout bracket system carries over to the M7 World Championship knockout stage. Formerly–during M5–the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals was played as a Best-of-5 like its immediately succeeding rounds, however, since M6, the upper bracket quarterfinals have since transitioned to a Best of 3. It is the only best-of-three in the entire knockout stage.
