A new chapter begins for Cambodian esports as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Professional League (MPL) Cambodia enters its 10th season with a bold declaration: "The Kingdom Rises." Positioned within MLBB's five-region globalisation strategy, Cambodia stands among the world's rising communities and markets, marking its transition from a growing scene to a rising force on the global stage.
This milestone season arrives in parallel with MLBB's 10th anniversary, as the game celebrates a decade of shaping communities, defining mobile esports, and connecting millions of players worldwide, making this moment not just a reflection of the past, but a launchpad for Cambodia's next era of growth.
Stronger, Smarter Ecosystem for Cambodia's Esports
For years, MPL Cambodia has stood as the country's official professional MLBB tournament, anchoring a vibrant but fragmented competitive scene fueled by passionate community organizers and third-party leagues. Now, that ecosystem takes a decisive step forward by a fixed slot system, creating a structured pathway between grassroots tournaments and the professional stage.
Under this new system, up to four selected third-party tournaments will be integrated into the MPL Cambodia ecosystem each season, creating a more structured and sustainable pathway to the professional stage. For Season 10, T. Y. Media Academy and Queen Legends have been identified as the first partner tournaments under this model, with additional partnerships to be explored in future seasons. This initiative strengthens alignment across all levels of competition, ensuring that emerging talent is not only discovered but consistently developed and elevated.
Daniel Chew, Head of Esports Cambodia at MOONTON Game, said: "The 10th season of MPL Cambodia represents more than just a competitive milestone for Khmer MLBB Esports; it reflects the maturity of the ecosystem we've been building together with the community. By strengthening our grassroots-to-pro pathway and deepening our integration with local tournaments, we are creating a more sustainable system where Cambodian players and teams can truly thrive, not just locally, but on the global stage. At the same time, we will continue working closely with the Esports Federation of Cambodia to push the frontiers of esports in Cambodia, driving further growth, innovation, and opportunities for the next generation of talent."
MPL Cambodia Arena: The New Home of Khmer Champions
In another milestone moment, MPL Cambodia proudly unveils its first long-term competition venue: the MPL Cambodia Arena. More than just a physical space, the arena stands as a symbol of the league and the game's permanence in an industry often defined by constant evolution, and a testament to the league's belief in Cambodia's future as a competitive esports nation.
The new MPL Cambodia Arena will host the region's biggest MLBB matches, foster deeper fan engagement, and provide players with a stage worthy of their ambition, where rivalries take shape, stories unfold, and champions rise.
"As MLBB marks its 10th year, the MPL Cambodia Arena stands as a symbol of permanence. It is proof that Cambodia's esports journey is no longer temporary or emerging, but here to stay. This is where the next decade of stories, rivalries, and champions will be built." Daniel added.
Further reinforcing this commitment to sustainable growth, MPL Cambodia is also introducing a League Incentive Program designed to empower teams beyond in-game performance. In line with this, the league's total prize pool will increase from USD 40,000 to USD 50,000, encouraging teams to invest in their brand, grow their fanbase, and play a more active role in building a stronger, more connected esports community.
MPL Cambodia Season 10 is supported by Infinix, the official tournament phone partner, and Cellcard, whose continued support helps power seamless connectivity and elevate the overall fan and player experience.
Leveraging its 5G network, Cellcard delivers low-latency performance designed for competitive gaming, while also supporting the broader community through offerings such as the AO Gamer Plan and AO MLBB Pack. These integrated packages combine data, calls, and in-game rewards to enhance both gameplay and viewing experiences.
The league is monitored and supervised by the Esports Federation of Cambodia (EFC) and moves forward into Season 10 in partnership with T.Y. Media & Advertising Co. Ltd,, its new collaborator in driving the continued growth of MLBB esports in Cambodia.
With a stronger foundation, a permanent home, and a unified path to the professional stage, MPL Cambodia's 10th season marks not just a milestone, but a movement. As MLBB celebrates a decade of impact worldwide, Cambodia answers with its own declaration: the Kingdom is rising, and its journey is only just beginning.
