Can Blacklist defend their throne or a new champion will be crowned?
The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Professional League (MPL PH) is returning to the Philippines for its 11th season. The franchised league will see eight teams competing for the title of champions and a share of the $150,000 prize pool.
The MPL PH is one of two franchised MLBB esports leagues, the other being in Indonesia. It was launched back in 2017 and adopted a franchised model in 2019 with eight teams. Besides the prize pool, the teams will also be fighting for slots in the MLBB SEA Cup (MSC) 2022 in the MPL PH Season 11.
The entire event will be played offline. The venue for the regular season is the Shooting Gallery Studios in Manali. It will be open to a live audience and the tickets will go up for sale soon. The venue for the Playoffs hasn’t been revealed yet, though.

MPL PH Season 11: Format and schedule
The MPL PH will feature a similar format to past seasons. The teams will compete across a regular season and the playoffs to determine the champions.
The Regular season will run across eight weeks from Feb. 17 to April 16. The matches will take place every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The teams will compete in a double round-robin format in the regular season, meaning each team will face every other team twice.
All matches will be a best-of-three series. The teams will win different points based on how big their victory is in the series.
MOONTON hasn’t revealed the details for the MPL PH Season 11 Playoffs format. However, the top six teams from the group stage are likely to advance. They will compete in a double-elimination bracket to determine the winner.
