Mobile Legends (MLBB) developer MOONTON Games announced on Friday (17 February) that Season 11 of the MLBB Professional League (MPL) Malaysia will kick off in March with a revamped format and with new teams joining the competition, including premier global organisation Team Secret.

MPL MY Season 11 will see competition shortened to six weeks, down from eight last season, from March to April. The Regular Season will take place from 10 March to 16 April while the Playoffs will be held from 27 to 30 April.

The 10 participating teams in the league will now be playing fewer matches in the Regular Season in a bid to "increase the level of performance from teams, allowing them more time to prepare and perform," said MOONTON.

As in previous seasons, the MPL MY Regular Season will see all 10 teams placed into a single group, where they will play a best-of-three match with every other team in the league.

Six teams will qualify for the Playoffs, which will have a hybrid elimination format that features lower bracket cushions for teams that make the semifinals.
