MLBB at Asian Games 2026: Groups Set, Gold Due Oct. 1
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is finally getting its moment on the Asiad stage.
The mobile MOBA is one of the esports titles at the 2026 Asian Games, and its tournament runs from Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 at the Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname, Japan. Eleven national teams are competing, and whoever wins on Oct. 1 takes home the first MLBB gold medal in the event's history. The Asian Games, often called the Asiad, is the continent's largest multi-sport event, run under the Olympic Council of Asia.
That's a big deal for a game that has spent years quietly building one of the most passionate competitive scenes on the planet, largely away from the Western spotlight.
