TNC Pro Team's win over AP Bren during Week 1 was the team's first win since MPL Philippines Season 13. TNC went 0-14 in the previous season which prolonged to 0-15 when they lost their opening match to the defending champions ONIC Philippines.

MPL Philippines would halt the season from the period of April 13th to April 20th in observance to the Holy Week. Moreover, the league halted its matches to make way for the ESL Snapdragon Mobile Masters 2025 for teams who qualified for both the play-ins and playoffs.{{Cite web |last=Cortez |first=Caezar Julius |date=2025-04-14 |title=ONIC PH stuns Indonesia’s RRQ Hoshi to win SPS Mobile Masters |url=https://manilastandard.net/sports/314579857/onic-ph-stuns-indonesias-rrq-hoshi-to-win-sps-mobile-masters.html |access-date=2025-04-20 |website=Manila Standard |language=en-US}}

After a three-week break, the Season 15 playoffs began to determine the Philippines' two representatives for MSC 2025.

Defending champions ONIC Philippines are matched up against Twisted Minds PH who barely made the playoffs with a 3{{endash}}11 record. ONIC Philippines came in as the overwhelming favorites for the series. After a 2{{endash}}0 lead over Twisted Minds, the underdogs tied up the series for the first of four-consecutive game-five series in the playoffs which ultimately went to ONIC Philippines. ONIC eliminated Twisted Minds and advanced to the next round against Aurora Gaming.

For the second matchup, it's M5 world champions roster now under Team Falcons PH against TNC Pro Team who qualified for the playoffs for the first time since their franchise-best 9{{endash}}5 record during MPL Philippines Season 9. In another best-of-five series against the former world championship roster Team Falcons, Team Falcons held the advantage at a 2{{Endash}}1 series but with a rally in Game 4, its series became the second-consecutive five-game series. Team Falcons however would win Game 5 over TNC Pro Team which qualified them for the playoffs, the first time in a while that the Top 4 were included in the playoff picture.

Defending champions ONIC Philippines would face off the super team Aurora Gaming in a rematch from the Grand Finals. In another close-series of trading games left and right, ONIC PH would prevail and hold a 3{{Endash}}0 head-to-head record in the playoffs. In Season 14, they lost in two series{{Emdash}}including the Grand Finals{{Emdash}}to then Fnatic ONIC Philippines and this becomes their third series loss against ONIC Philippines in a series in the playoffs. ONIC would make it to the Upper Bracket Finals in a 50-50 chance to qualify for MSC.

Top seed Team Liquid PH saw themselves in an 0{{Endash}}2 hole over Team Falcons. However, Team Liquid would prevail in three-straight matches over Team Falcons, play after play that sent the Falcons down to the lower-bracket semifinals against Aurora and in a potential elimination match for them.

Team Liquid Philippines and ONIC Philippines qualified for the Upper Bracket Finals and was the first time that a first seed would matchup with the three-seed in the upper-bracket in a long while. The only three-seed who prevailed in the upper-bracket finals against another team were ONIC during Season 5, Execration in Season 7, and Blacklist International in a back-to-back campaign in Seasons 11 and 12.

After both teams' loss early in the upper-bracket semifinals, former M6 representatives and grand finalists Aurora Gaming matched up against former MSC 2024 representatives and M5 champions Team Falcons in the lower bracket semifinals. As reflected by the upper bracket finals, Team Falcons PH, with their extensive playoff experience and veteran leadership of its players, swept the second-seed Aurora Gaming 3{{endash}}0 to face Team Liquid PH in the lower-bracket finals and in another chance to qualify for MSC.

The two former MSC 2024 representatives were battling each other in the lower bracket finals in a best-of-seven series. This is the second-consecutive season where the lower bracket finals is a best of seven. Team Liquid PH orchestrated a 2-0 lead early in the series which was then countered by Falcons after a Game 3 dominant win. However, TLPH would still win Game 4 to get match point until a Game 5 win over the squad that pushed the series to six games. In Game 6, Falcons would be eliminated as TLPH qualified for MSC and their fifth finals appearance.

Team Liquid PH and ONIC Philippines were the grand finalists for MPL Philippines Season 15, a rematch of the upper-bracket finals where ONIC swept Team Liquid that qualified them for MSC 2025. The best of seven series saw an immediate back-and-forth of game wins from both sides but ultimately, Team Liquid PH won in seven games over ONIC Philippines, denying ONIC a chance to repeat as champions.

The ESL Snapdragon Pro Series for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang began during the offseason of MPL Philippines Seasons 15 and 16. The tournament is on its sixth season split into three different tournament levels: The Open Finals, the Challenge Season, and the Challenge Finals with the finale being the ESL Snapdragon Pro Series Masters, in Jakarta.{{Cite web |title=ESL FACEIT Group, Qualcomm Bring Mobile Masters in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang 2025 to Jakarta |url=https://www.eslfaceitgroup.com/press/esl-faceit-group-qualcomm-bring-mobile-masters-in-mobile-legends-bang-bang-2025-to-jakarta/2 |access-date=2025-02-01 |website=ESL FACEIT Group, Qualcomm Bring Mobile Masters in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang 2025 to Jakarta |language=en}} Both amateur and professional teams from MPL Philippines competed in these tournaments.

In the Open Finals, three professional squads competed for a slot in the challenge season: Aurora Gaming, Omega Esports (stylized as Smart Omega), and ONIC Philippines, and four amateur squads: Gamerpact Ascend, Gamerpact Chiefs, Lazy Esports, and RRQ Kaito. The seven representatives played a Best-of-3 swiss-stage tournament with the top four teams qualifying for the challenge season. Indonesia's Alter Ego and the Philippines' Aurora Gaming both went unscathed in the swiss stage, going on a perfect 4{{Endash}}0 record while ONIC Philippines had a 5-1 record, dropping only one series to Indonesia's RRQ Hoshi who subsequently qualified as the eight seed.

The Challenge season featured the eight qualifying teams from the Open Final and eight invited teams from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. All teams were split into four groups with the top two advancing to the Challenge Finals. Among the four Philippine representatives, two teams qualified for the Challenge Finals in ONIC Philippines{{Emdash}}who went undefeated in their group{{Emdash}}and Aurora Gaming{{Emdash}}who only lost two games in their Best of 3 matches.

The Challenge Finals was the third phase of the Snapdragon Pro Series held on February 2025. One team from six different regions were invited by ESL to compete with the six qualifying teams from the Challenge Season. The Philippines had three representatives in the Challenge Finals in ONIC Philippines, Aurora Gaming, and the debutant Team Falcons PH. Among the Philippines' representatives, Team Falcons PH and ONIC Philippines qualifed for the ESL Snapdragon Masters with FCON placing fourth and ONIC Philippines in the deciding Grand Finals match against sister team ONIC Esports. ONIC Philippines swept their sister team ONIC Esports to claim the Challenge Finals trophy and a shot at Masters in the middle of the split.{{Cite web |title=ONIC PH sweep ONIC ID to win Snapdragon Pro Series Season 6 APAC Challenge Finals {{!}} GosuGamers |url=https://www.gosugamers.net/mobile-legends/news/74332-onic-ph-sweep-onic-id-to-win-snapdragon-pro-series-season-6-apac-challenge-finals |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=www.gosugamers.net |language=en-GB}}

In the group stage, ONIC Philippines had an equal-best record with Indonesian team RRQ Hoshi but RRQ edged them out by just one game. ONIC had a 5-0; 10-1 standing while RRQ had a perfect 5-0; 10-0 record.

The second iteration of the women's division for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang in the 2025 Esports World Cup will be held again coinciding with MSC 2025{{Emdash}}the men's division. Teams from the Philippines qualified through the Athena League which served as the first official female tournament for MLBB for the female division and the qualifying tournament for Philippine teams to EWC.

In the Athena League, defending MWI champions Omega Empress{{Emdash}}the women's division for Smart Omega{{Emdash}}was acquired by Natus Vincere midway through the Athena League.{{Cite web |last=Lojo |first=Michelle |title=Smart Omega Empress roster acquired by NAVI ahead of Athena League playoffs |url=https://www.philstar.com/sports/2025/05/15/2443305/smart-omega-empress-roster-acquired-navi-ahead-athena-league-playoffs |access-date=2025-06-01 |website=Philstar.com}} This comes after NAVI's own entry to both MLBB in Indonesia{{Cite web |title=NAVI enters Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - Natus Vincere |url=https://navi.gg/en/publications/navi-enters-mlbb |access-date=2025-06-01 |website=navi.gg}} and Malaysia.{{Cite web |date=2025-05-15 |title=Why NAVI Acquired Two MLBB Women's Rosters Ahead Of EWC 2025 - Hotspawn |url=https://www.hotspawn.com/mlbb/news/navi-acquired-two-mlbb-womens-rosters |access-date=2025-06-01 |language=en-US}} NAVI PH will be defending their championship title in MWI 2025 alongside the female division of Team Liquid PH.

In every split, MPL Philippines announces awards for players across the league such as all star teams and the individual awards such as Regular Season MVP and Finals MVP.

Similarly to Season 14, 2 All-Star Teams will be awarded to ten different players from the five different lanes in-game while one All-Fan Vote team would also be announced. For the second-consecutive season, one team dominated the fan's all-star team.

Fans online{{Emdash}}specifically on Facebook communities{{Emdash}}have called out MPL Philippines for their "cheap" looking medals that were given to the champions Team Liquid PH. Previous iterations of these medals were hard metal-like medals that were evident during MPL PH Season 7 and MPL PH Season 8. However, during the Season 15 awarding ceremony for the champions, the medals were reportedly made out of acrylic or some type of plastic which caused dismay among fans and players alike. Players including Johnmar "OhMyV33Nus" Villaluna and Setsuna "AkoSiDogie" Ignacio publicly expressed dismay with fans calling out MPL Philippines for cheeping out on the medal.{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWYuNNKq0s4 |title=VeeWise and Dogie Showed their UTTER DISGUST after Seeing MPL PH's Season 15 Champion's Medal! 😮😱 |date=2025-06-03 |last=Stanley Mark |access-date=2025-06-09 |via=YouTube}}
