The wait is over, MPL fans, August 21, 2025. As the MPL Philippines Season 16 of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Philippines returns to Makati City, it is already looking like an unadulterated esports extravaganza in the best way possible.
The only certainty is that no team will be safe when the top MLBB teams in the country play each other inside the Green Sun Hotel from August 22 to October 12, 2025.
Why This Season Feels Different
Team Liquid PH solidified their position as the MPL stage’s kings and champions at the end of the previous season. KarlTzy and the crew have a huge target on their backs following their victory at MSC 2025. There will be some of the most intense games we’ve seen in years because every team in the league wants to be the one to overthrow them.
However, their journey won’t be simple. RSG PH is subtly preparing something dangerous, ECHO has a revamped lineup ready for retribution, and AP.Bren is still enraged over their near-misses. Additionally, don’t undervalue the underdogs those who can defeat a tournament favorite in a single series but don’t garner glamorous headlines.

Makati: The Heartbeat of MPL PH
You already know if you’ve ever attended a live MPL event in Makati: it’s an experience rather than just a place. The Green Sun Hotel is prepared to serve as the new venue for legendary MPL moments that will leave the crowd erupting, such as clutch base defenses, reverse sweeps, and last-minute Lord steals.
This city lives the MPL, not just watching it. To confuse the opposition, fans here shout chants, wave banners, and cheer them on. Makati is the place to bring your pride to the frontlines, whether you’re a Bren fan, an Orca from ECHO, or a die-hard Team Liquid PH supporter.
Rivalries to Watch
- The reigning kings and the disciplined giants square off against Team Liquid PH and AP.Bren. Explosive team fights are combined with tactical genius.
- Raiders vs. Orcas: ECHO vs. RSG PH. Highlight plays, dazzling dives, and just enough spice to keep the audience enthusiastic are all to be expected.
- Everyone vs. Underdogs: According to MPL history, you should never undervalue the “weaker” teams. A single upset has the power to change the entire season.

The Makati Atmosphere: You Can’t Stream This Feeling
Yes, you can view it on TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook. However, the reality is that it isn’t the same.
The intro music’s bass won’t pound in your chest.
When a flawless Flicker-ult lands, you won’t be able to see the unfiltered expressions.
You won’t give a high five to complete strangers who instantly become like family just because you support the same team.
You are a part of the story in the crowd. It feels like your play every time you steal from the Lord. Every error feels like a loss to you. And it feels like you lifted that trophy when your team wins.
The bottom line?
You have the option of being in Makati, losing your voice, and watching MLBB history unfold in real time, or you can watch from home and wish you were there.
MPL fans, it’s your turn.
