The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Mid Season Cup (MSC) Pass returns from 19 July to 8 August, bringing the spirit of MSC at the 2026 Esports World Cup (EWC) in Paris, France, to players around the world. With the MSC Pass, fans can enjoy a host of exclusive in-game rewards throughout the event period, with Baxia's "Aegis of Honor" skin leading the charge.

This year's MSC opens a new chapter for MLBB Esports as the tournament makes its first-ever stop in Europe. MLBB returns to EWC for a third consecutive year as a mainstay title, bringing together the expanded MSC and the rebranded MLBB Women's International (MWI)under the "Two Champions, One Game" banner. Together, the two tournaments form MLBB's international mid-season circuit and further strengthen its growing legacy at EWC as the most-viewed esports title in EWC history.

MLBB is the star game of international video game company MOONTON Games. With over 1.5 billion installations and 110 million Monthly Active Users (MAU) worldwide, MLBB is one of the world's leading mobile games. Its global esports ecosystem continues to unite one of gaming’s largest communities, with MLBB ranked as the world’s most-watched mobile esports title since 2021, according to Esports Charts.

Baxia's "Aegis of Honor" anchors the limited-time MSC Pass rewards

Baxia's "Aegis of Honor" reflects the intensity of the MSC stage, where the world's best teams stand firm under pressure, protect every advantage, and adapt with every match on the road to championship glory.

The MSC Pass will be available exclusively during the event period at 719 Diamonds, MLBB's premium in-game currency, a 20% discount from its original price of 899 Diamonds. Players who purchase the Pass can unlock Baxia's "Aegis of Honor" skin, an MSC Coin Pack, and double rewards from all MSC Pass tasks. Players can also earn MSC Coins by completing activity tasks. These coins can be exchanged in the Event Shop for limited-time rewards such as the MSC 2026 Avatar Border, Battle Emote, and returning MSC skins Valentina "Dark Nexus" and Atlas "Rune Sentinel."

Fans can also put their esports knowledge to the test through the "MY CHAMPIONS PICK" Event, where they can predict the MSC and MWI champions for a chance to win 50,000 in-game Diamonds and MSC tournament skins.

When the new MSC champions are crowned, the celebration will extend to all players from the winning nation through MSC Champion Benefits, which include Double EXP, limited-time free access to all heroes, bonus stars for ranked victories, and free access to all previous MSC skins.

Queens of MLBB set their sights on the crown

All eyes are on MWI at EWC 26 this week, where 16 of the world's best women's teams begin their pursuit of the crown in the Group Stage. The competition culminates on 18 July, with the world title and the life-changing US$500,000 prize pool on the line. Following its expansion from the MLBB Women's Invitational, MWI returns as EWC's only all-women's tournament, with qualification pathways now spanning more than 60 regions. The expansion elevates MWI alongside MSC as an equal pillar of MLBB's international mid-season circuit. It also underscores MLBB Esports' continued investment in a more global and inclusive competitive ecosystem, creating more opportunities for women to compete at the highest level.

The staging of MSC and MWI at EWC 26 in Paris marks the latest milestone in MLBB Esports' global expansion, following the five-region structure unveiled earlier this year across Southeast Asia (SEA), Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA), Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), East Asia (EA), and the Americas (AMER). The framework strengthens regional ecosystems while creating a more interconnected global competitive structure. As MLBB celebrates its 10th year, its international momentum continues to build. The title will be featured as a medal event at the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan before the M8 World Championship Finals arrive in Türkiye next January, marking the European debut of MLBB's  flagship international tournament.

Tickets for both MSC and MWI at EWC 26 are now on sale, with fans able to enjoy 15% off using the exclusive codes MLBB15 for MSC at EWC 26 and MLBBW15 for MWI at EWC 26. Witness "Two Champions, One Game" unfold live in Paris!
