MLBB Women's Esports World Cup Set for 2025

• The MLBB Women’s Invitational is coming back in July 2025
• Sixteen teams will compete from July 15th to 19th
• Can Smart Omega Empress successfully defend their title?

After one of the most stunning conclusions in the entire 2024 Esports World Cup, the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Women’s Invitational (MWI) is confirmed to return to Riyadh in July 2025. Last year, Smart Omega Empress delivered a historic upset by defeating the long-reigning Team Vitality in the Grand Final, ending their three-year, 24-tournament undefeated streak. 

This time, the stakes are even greater. Sixteen of the world’s top all-female MLBB squads will compete for glory and a record-breaking prize pool. Scheduled from July 15th to 19th, MWI 2025 will begin with a double-elimination Group Stage that includes all 16 qualified teams. 

The top eight teams will move on to a single-elimination playoff bracket, where the final contenders will vie for a share of the $550,000 prize pool, along with a $10,000 MVP bonus for the tournament's most outstanding player.

This year’s qualification system is bringing in talent from more regions than ever before. Several elite teams have already earned their spots, including DreamMax from the MWI 2025 LATAM Qualifiers, CFU Serendipity from Queen Legends Season 1, NAVI MY from the MYSG Qualifier, and Falcons Vega MENA from the Carry1st Africa Cup.

Additional teams will qualify through ongoing regional competitions such as BOG Season 1, Athena League, and Lady MVP Season 6. More regional qualifiers from China, North America, Mekong, Mongolia, and Türkiye will conclude in the coming weeks.

The return of MWI is a key part of the larger Esports World Cup 2025, which brings together elite clubs from multiple games to compete in a unique cross-game championship. Smart Omega Empress will be back as the defending champion, but with powerhouse teams from around the world joining the fray, the title is anyone’s to win.
