The MPL Philippines Season 7 was the seventh season of the Mobile Legends Professional League (MPL) in the Philippines and the seventh iteration of the tournament.. At that time, Bren Esports, who came off from a victorious run in the M2 World Championship securing a historic championship for the Philippines, were the defending champions as they have defeated Execration in the previous season 6, 4 games to 2.[1]
The season began on March 19, 2021, and concluded with the final game of the season's playoffs, the grand finals, with Blacklist International securing the league championship against Execration after a full-seven game in a best-of-seven championship series, 4 games to 3, to claim its maiden championship. This was the final season that the promotion and relegation system was used as starting in eighth season, the league turned into a professional franchise-based league.
M2 World Champions Bren Esports were deemed as the favorites to repeat as MPL-PH Champions for this season, as the squad have won the MLBB M2 World Championships in Singapore earlier on January 24, 2021, taking down Myanmar's Burmese Ghouls, 4 games to 3 in a best-of-7 championship series.[2] [3] They also have beaten Execration in the previous season in six games, 4 games to 2 to claim its maiden championship.[1]
The ten teams were divided into two groups of five teams each. Teams within the same group played a double round robin format, meeting them twice (8 games) and all teams played against the other group in a single round robin format, meeting them once (5 games), for a total of 13 games played by each team in the regular season.[5]
With the playoffs being held still entirely online due to the threat of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all games were cast inside the MPL Arena.
