The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang MLBB x King of Fighters collaboration event that began on January 30, 2026 is now actively running across global servers, giving players a renewed opportunity to collect some of the most popular crossover skins in the game’s history.

This limited-time event combines the nostalgic flair of SNK’s King of Fighters series with MLBB’s battle arena action, letting players draw for exclusive themed skins while progressing through special activities and missions throughout the event window.

According to community and fan announcements, the MLBB x KOF 2026 resale and Bingo event is running from January 30 through March 7, 2026, giving players about five weeks to participate in draws, complete missions, earn tokens, and unlock collaboration rewards.

During this period:

One of the most talked about features returning this year is the guaranteed skin mechanic. Players are guaranteed to receive Karina’s KOF skin Leona within their first ten draws.

If the Karina Leona skin is already owned, the reward will instead convert into an Epic tier skin, ensuring value is still delivered early in the event.

This system has been well received in past collaborations, especially by players who prefer more predictable outcomes rather than relying entirely on luck.

The 2026 resale event features nine KOF collaboration skins, bringing back all of the iconic crossover cosmetics from the series. These include characters and their corresponding KOF identities that have become fan favourites over past events.

• Karina as Leona
• Dyrroth as Orochi Chris
• Aurora as Kula Diamond
• Guinevere as Athena Asamiya
• Gusion as K
• Valir as Kyo Kusanagi
• Paquito as Terry Bogard
• Masha as Mai Shiranui
• Chou as Iori Yagami

These skins are distributed across two main prize pools — King of Fighters Bingo and King of Fighters ’97 — and players can switch between them while keeping shared Bingo progress.

The event uses a Bingo system, in which every 10 draws contributes one piece to a shared 3×3 Bingo board. Completing a row, column, or diagonal guarantees an MLBB x KOF skin reward from the collaboration pool or, if players already own the content, a random Epic skin instead.

Draw costs and discounts remain consistent with previous collaborations:
• 1x draw costs about 225 Diamonds, with the first daily draw discounted by 50 percent
• 10x draw costs 2,250 Diamonds, with a first-time 10x discount of 30 percent reducing the cost to about 1,575 Diamonds

Because of the low natural drop rates for collaboration skins, players often complete multiple Bingo lines or participate in recharge missions to accelerate progress.

The event also features recharge missions and token rewards that help players earn extra Bingo Tokens beyond what Diamond draws alone provide. While Moonton has not published the full official mission list for 2026, patterns from last year’s collaboration suggest a similar structure where players earn tokens for logging in, topping up Diamonds, and completing other in-game tasks.

These tokens can be used to perform free or discounted draws, reducing the total Diamond cost required to unlock collaboration skins over the course of the event.

Players aiming to make the most of the event should consider:

• Planning Diamond usage around daily and 10x draw discounts
• Completing Bingo lines to guarantee skin rewards
• Taking advantage of recharge missions and token rewards
• Targeting Premium Supply phases for extra tokens or bonus items

This strategic approach helps balance expenditure while increasing the chance of obtaining desired KOF skins within the event period.

As the MLBB x KOF 2026 event continues into March, additional missions, free trial opportunities, and potential new mini-activities may be added by Moonton. Players are encouraged to watch for in-game announcements and official patch notes for any adjustments or bonus additions during the event’s run.
