[edit]

Similar to the previous season, 8 teams will compete in a double round-robin elimination and only the Top 6 teams will qualify for the playoffs. However, the first and third-placed teams will have the advantage of selecting matchups in the play-in rounds. Only the Grand Finalists will represent the Philippines in the upcoming MLBB M4 World Championships.

The regular season began on August 12, 2022, and will end on October 03, 2022.

On September 24, 2022, the league announced the suspension of games scheduled for September 25 (Week 7-Day 3), in light of the onslaught of Typhoon Karding (international name: Typhoon Noru), which had hit different parts of Luzon.[4] However, it was announced that suspended games due to the typhoon are rescheduled on October 03, 2022, which will mean the final week of the Regular Season will run for four days, with the regular season officially ending on October 03, 2022.[5]
