MLBB 10th Anniversary Event 2026: All Rewards and Dates
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang marks its tenth year in 2026 with one of the longest and most generous anniversary celebrations the game has ever run. The official kickoff landed on September 4, 2026, and major event tracks continue through early to mid-November. Unlike previous single-week or short-window anniversaries, this year’s campaign stretches across roughly two months and layers multiple overlapping systems so players can claim free high-tier skins, cosmetics, and limited rewards through steady daily play rather than pure spending.
The theme centers on a cosmic “Starward Decade” celebration. Three brand-new anniversary skins form the centerpiece of the free rewards, each unlocked through a different method and window. Additional systems include a dedicated anniversary Battle Pass, a memory-collection event called A Decade of Legends, friend-recall bonuses, returning older anniversary skins, recharge rebates, and the launch of Season 42 as the official 10th Anniversary Special Season.
Overall Timeline
The celebration opened on September 4, 2026. Many core tracks, including the anniversary Battle Pass and A Decade of Legends, run until November 1. The peak day falls on October 9, the traditional anniversary date, when Layla’s Collector skin becomes available and competitive schedules in several regions pause for the celebration. Later phases extend into mid-November for the final skin claim windows and remaining missions.
Key date ranges players need to track:
- September 1 to September 21: Recharge Bonus / Grand Rebate
- September 4 to November 1: 10th Anniversary Celebration Battle Pass and A Decade of Legends
- September 4 to October 4: Call Back Friends event
- September 4 to September 7: Battle Privileges (temporary boosts)
- September 11 to October 8: Free Returning Anniversary Skin choice
- September 11 to November 1: Tasks Made Easy (Task Skip Vouchers)
- September 16: Season 42 (10th Anniversary Special Season) begins
- September 18 to October 25: Skin Jigsaw Puzzle for Chou
- October 9 to November 19: Layla’s Stellar Gala mini-game
Logging in regularly and completing daily and weekly tasks is essential because several rewards cannot be claimed in a single session.
Free Anniversary Skins
Three exclusive new skins form the main free rewards of the anniversary.
Nana receives the Epic skin Stardust Dreamer. It is available through the free track of the 10th Anniversary Celebration Battle Pass that runs from September 4 to November 1. Players earn Celebration Coins by leveling the pass through matches and missions. Once enough coins are collected (around 600 according to community tracking), the permanent skin can be redeemed in the event shop. The skin becomes available for exchange on September 25 even if the required coins are earned earlier. The Battle Pass also awards Epic Skin Selection Chests, Random Epic Skin Chests, spawn effects, elimination effects, and various trial items along the way.
Chou receives the Special-tier skin Starforger’s Glory. This one is unlocked by completing the Skin Jigsaw Puzzle event that runs from September 18 to October 25. Players gather puzzle pieces through daily and event missions and assemble them to claim the permanent skin. The design leans into forge and starlight motifs that fit the cosmic anniversary theme.
Layla receives her second Collector-tier skin, Prismatic Rhythm. This is the highest-value free reward of the anniversary and is obtained through the dedicated Stellar Gala mini-game that opens on October 9 and continues until November 19. Players earn points by completing weekly tasks (logins and mini-game score targets) and challenge tasks (finishing sets of matches in Classic, Ranked, Brawl, Arcade, or other modes). Reaching 360 points unlocks the permanent Collector skin along with a reward card. Intermediate milestones along the way grant trial cards, hero fragments, lucky tickets, and premium skin fragments.
Together these three skins represent an unusually strong free offering. A Collector skin in particular is rarely given away through pure gameplay, making consistent participation across October and early November highly worthwhile.
Additional Free Skins and Returning Rewards
Beyond the three new anniversary skins, players can claim more free cosmetics through parallel events.
The Call Back Friends event (September 4 to October 4) lets players invite returning friends and choose one free Special skin from a selection that includes Lancelot Empyrean Flame, Dyrroth V.E.N.O.M. Cobra, Hanabi V.E.N.O.M. Nephila, Harley V.E.N.O.M. Octopus, and Lapu-Lapu Vulcan. Both the inviter and the returning player benefit, so coordinating with old squadmates is the fastest route.
From September 11 to October 8, a Free Returning Anniversary Skin event allows players who missed earlier celebrations to pick either the 5th Anniversary Miya Moon Priestess or the 7th Anniversary Johnson Starblazer. This is a straightforward login-and-claim reward for eligible accounts.
Phase 1 of the anniversary also supports up to eight free skins in total when all tracks, selection chests, and returning options are combined. Exact numbers depend on how many selection chests a player opens and whether they participate in every parallel event.
A Decade of Legends Event
Running alongside the Battle Pass from September 4 to November 1, A Decade of Legends functions as a memory and history collection system. Players unlock numbered mementos by completing simple daily tasks (login, interacting with mementos) and special tasks (sharing a memento). Each unlocked memento reveals a piece of MLBB history and may contain a reward.
Confirmed rewards from the system include a Dynamic Avatar titled “10 Years with You,” an Animated Avatar Border, a 10th Anniversary Account Title, various trial effects and skins (including short trials of past popular skins), and milestone banners. Collecting a full set of 23 mementos unlocks additional temporary profile banners and a 7-day 10th Anniversary Spawn Effect.
A limited physical 10th Anniversary Album (art book) is also tied to this event. Eligibility is restricted to long-time accounts that meet strict historical criteria (registration before a 2017 cutoff and a very high lifetime match count completed before the end of August 2026). Most players will not qualify for the physical item, but the digital rewards remain available to everyone who participates.
Battle Pass and Progression Rewards
The 10th Anniversary Celebration Battle Pass is the main long-term track. Free-side rewards center on Nana’s Stardust Dreamer plus multiple Epic skin chests (both selection and random), elimination and spawn effects, trial cards, and miscellaneous resources. Players progress by earning EXP through matches and dedicated missions. The pass runs the full length of the core celebration window (September 4 to November 1), giving plenty of time for consistent daily players to finish it.
A separate Tasks Made Easy system (September 11 to November 1) distributes Task Skip Vouchers that allow players to bypass certain match requirements and claim event rewards more easily.
Season 42 and Gameplay Changes
Season 42 launches on September 16 as the official 10th Anniversary Special Season. It brings revamps for eight classic heroes and a visual redesign of the Sanctum Island map. New battlefield effects and quality-of-life improvements also arrive with the season. Because the anniversary skin events continue well into the new season, players can progress both ranked goals and anniversary missions at the same time.
Recharge and Spending Events
A Recharge Bonus / Grand Rebate ran from September 1 to September 21. Recharging any amount unlocked a package valued at roughly 769 Diamonds that included a random permanent Common skin the player did not already own, Task Skip Vouchers, and free draws toward the September Collector skin. Reaching a 250-Diamond threshold unlocked a larger package valued around 1,860 Diamonds that contained Aspirants Unite Tokens (usable in two different windows), universal and skin-specific discount coupons, and other resources. Combined, the two tiers were advertised as delivering up to 2,629 Diamonds in total value.
These bonuses are optional. Free players can still claim the three main anniversary skins and most digital cosmetics without spending.
Practical Tips for Maximizing Rewards
Focus first on the three exclusive skins because their windows are staggered. Start the Battle Pass immediately on September 4 so Celebration Coins accumulate toward Nana. Begin gathering Chou puzzle pieces the moment the Jigsaw event opens on September 18. On October 9 switch primary attention to the Stellar Gala mini-game and its match-based challenges for Layla.
Complete the Call Back Friends and Returning Anniversary Skin claims early so those free skins are secured. Participate daily in A Decade of Legends for the Dynamic Avatar, border, and title. Use any Task Skip Vouchers strategically on higher-effort missions later in the period.
Because several rewards require consistent logins and match play across different weeks, setting calendar reminders for the key start and end dates helps avoid missing a window.
What Makes This Anniversary Stand Out
Previous MLBB anniversaries usually centered on one or two free skins and shorter event periods. The 10th Anniversary spreads three free high-tier skins (including a Collector) across separate systems, adds a substantial memory-collection track with permanent cosmetics, revives older anniversary skins, and pairs everything with a full special season. The result is a longer engagement window that rewards regular play more than single large purchases.
Players who log in consistently from early September through mid-November can walk away with Nana’s Epic, Chou’s Special, Layla’s Collector, at least one additional free Special or returning anniversary skin, a Dynamic Avatar, an Animated Border, an Account Title, multiple Epic chests, and various temporary effects and resources. That combination ranks among the strongest free reward packages the game has offered in a single celebration period.
The 10th Anniversary Event is already live. The next important milestones are the Chou Jigsaw opening in mid-September and the Layla Stellar Gala on October 9. Steady participation across the remaining weeks will secure the full set of free rewards before the final windows close in November.
