Top 10 most-watched MLBB esports matches in 2025

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) esports in 2025 was absolute cinema. We saw an unexpected sweep finale, golden road runs, a four-peat achievement, and many more. Needless to say, it was non-stop action that kept millions of fans glued to their screens. This year was more than just competitions. It became a full-blown event, drawing in live audiences and breaking viewership records. 

With data provided by esports charts, let’s take a blast from the past and check out the top 10 most-watched MLBB esports matches in 2025.

The event with the highest peak viewership for 2025 is MPL Indonesia Season 15. The Grand Final match between ONIC ID and RRQ Hoshi reached 4,132,224 concurrent viewers. Six out of 10 matches come from MPL ID, the official MLBB regional league of Indonesia.

MPL ID Season 15 is one of RRQ Hoshi’s strongest performances. The team topped the Regular Season leaderboard with a 12-4 score. This led to their shining moment in the playoffs, where they beat Alter Ego with a 3-1 score, placing them one step closer to a grand finals bid. The crucial match amassed 2,277,288 peak viewership, placing it at number 10 on the list of most-watched MLBB esports matches in 2025. This will not be the last time we’ll be seeing RRQ Hoshi bringing in a ton of viewership. This is because they have one of the most dedicated fan bases in MLBB esports.

Next, we have the match between ONIC ID and Team Liquid PH. The PH vs ID rivalry is a classic one in terms of MLBB esports. It also happens that these two have one of the most loyal fan bases. The semifinals match between the two teams pulled 2,378,345 peak viewership. The match resulted in Team Liquid PH winning the series with a 3-1 score, before dropping the defending champions SRG.OG in the grand finals to become the MSC 2025 champions.  

It’s been a while since we saw Alter Ego making waves in the MLBB esports scene. The team has been struggling to gain momentum since their championship win in the ONE Esports MPL Invitational 2020. With ONIC ID’s massive and dedicated fanbase tuning in en masse, combined with the wider community’s curiosity over whether Alter Ego could finally reclaim their former glory, viewership numbers skyrocketed as fans refused to miss a potential comeback story in the making. The ONIC vs Alter Ego upper bracket match in MPL ID Season 16 accumulated 2,411,616 peak viewership. This puts it at number eight on the list of most-watched MLBB esports matches in 2025. Unfortunately, Alter Ego lost with a 1-3 score. But they still have a chance at redemption as they punched a ticket to the M7 World Championship.

The RRQ fanbase is back to raise viewership numbers. The match is between RRQ Hoshi and NAVI in MPL ID Season 16 Week 9. This was a crucial match for RRQ, as they were racing for points. The match reached 2,565,505 peak viewership. The support paid off as RRQ won with a 2-1 score. It was a very strict win condition as they needed a 2-0 score. While they did win the series, they did not earn enough points to take over NAVI’s playoff slot.

At number six, we have the upper bracket finals match between ONIC ID and RRQ Hoshi in MPL ID Season 15. As mentioned before, this was one of RRQ’s best seasons. The match resulted in ONIC winning with a 3-1 score. But before the match ended, it reached 2,622,797 peak viewership. This won’t be the last time we’ll be seeing the two teams clashing and breaking viewership numbers.

The ESL Snapdragon Pro Series: Mobile Masters 2025 is a third-party MLBB esports event. Despite this, it didn’t stop fans from tuning in and seeing their favourite teams compete. The most-watched match for this tournament is between ONIC PH and RRQ Hoshi in the grand finals. The stream reached 2,769,107 peak viewership. It was another crucial moment for RRQ Hoshi. It could have been their first championship win since MPL ID Season 9. Unfortunately, they fell short, losing against ONIC PH with a 1-4 score.

The semifinals match between ONIC PH and SRG.OG was one of the most important matches in MSC 2025. The Malaysian defending champions were on the brink of being eliminated. With that storyline, a lot of fans tuned in for the outcome. That match accumulated 2,777,576 peak views. SRG.OG survived the duel with a 3-2 score, sending them to the Grand Finals. 

The second day of the MSC 2025 Knockouts was brutal. The match started with  RRQ Hoshi up against SRG.OG, the defending champions. Elimination was awaiting the loser of this match, and both teams had everything to lose. Fans watched the carnage unfold, resulting in 3,069,302 peak views on that match. SRG.OG was able to clutch a win with a 3-2 score. Unfortunately for RRQ, their knockout run was over before it even started.

Most tournament finales are usually the ones racking in huge viewership numbers. This is why the top two most-watched MLBB esports matches in 2025 are from grand finals. Taking the number two spot is the match between ONIC ID and Alter Ego in MPL ID Season 16. The series amassed 3,110,921 peak viewership. These two teams have already met in the Upper Bracket Finals, where that match is number eight on this list, and it makes sense. ONIC is already a powerhouse with a solid fanbase. Meanwhile, Alter Ego is slowly regaining its momentum and is on the road to reclaiming its former glory. 

At the top of the list is the match between ONIC ID and RRQ Hoshi during MPL ID Season 15. What happens if you pit two of the teams with the most dedicated fan bases in a crucial Grand Finals match? Massive viewership. The grand finale of the event accumulated a whopping 4,132,224 peak viewership. Keep in mind that this is only a regional event. That’s over 60% of the highest viewership record in League of Legends Worlds 2025, which was 6,752,585.

Familiar names like ONIC and RRQ continue to dominate the charts with their very dedicated fanbase. In every match on this list, it’s either another team facing one of the two or both of them clashing head-to-head in a battle for victory.

That said, Indonesia retained its title as “The Heart of MLBB.” The region boasts one of the most loyal fanbases in the scene, always ready to rally behind their favorite teams. Community discussions can get heated from time to time. However, it only goes to show how deeply passionate fans are when it comes to defending their teams and the scene they love.

The M5 World Championship still holds the most-watched MLBB esports match of all time. The clash between ONIC ID and Bren Esports reached 5,067,1007 peak views. Since then, this record has not been surpassed. If MLBB wants to break more viewership records next year, we’re gonna need to see more of ONIC ID vs RRQ Hoshi. Unless, of course, a new contender appears, with a massive army of fans rallying behind them.
