Matches will be held in person at Games venues and will be livestreamed; broadcast partners have not been announced.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tournament format features a group stage followed by single-elimination playoffs. The 12 teams are drawn into four groups of three. Teams play a single round-robin within their group and the top two finishers in each group advance to an eight-team knockout bracket. The playoffs use a single-elimination format to determine the medalists.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confirmed national teams include the Philippines, Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Hong Kong and Iran. Teams will represent their countries rather than club or franchise sides. Organizers have not released monetary prize details.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will be Mobile Legends&#8217; second appearance on the Asian Games program.
