Mobile Legends Gala Weekend is giving away one permanent skin from a selection of 265 as part of the game’s tenth anniversary. The final claim window runs October 9–11, 2026, and the task is short: finish two matches alone, or one match in a team with a friend. Winning isn’t required, and the reward doesn’t cost Diamonds.
Players were able to explore the selection during September’s earlier event phase, but choosing a skin and collecting it are separate steps. If you already picked a favourite, don’t assume it will appear automatically in your collection. There are also animated-emote and login rewards to claim before the weekend ends.
Mobile Legends Gala Weekend dates and match requirements
MOONTON’s wider anniversary event opened on September 25, but the skin-claim stage lasts from October 9 to October 11. The exact closing hour follows the countdown on your server’s event page. Treat Sunday as the last opportunity rather than waiting until midnight in your own timezone.
The Mobile Legends Gala Weekend task offers two routes: complete two eligible matches yourself or play one eligible match grouped with a friend. These are alternatives, not two separate requirements. Check the event progress after each completed match; quitting early or using a mode outside the live task rules may not count.

How to claim a permanent skin in Mobile Legends Gala Weekend
- Open Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and enter the tenth-anniversary events area.
- Choose Anniversary Gala Weekend and inspect your selected skin or the current selection screen.
- Pick your preferred hero skin from the available 265 choices, and check its name before confirming.
- Finish two eligible matches, or form a team with a friend and finish one.
- Return to the event page and press Claim once the match objective is complete.
- Open your hero’s skin wardrobe to confirm permanent ownership.
You don’t need to win a match for the Mobile Legends Gala Weekend reward. If you selected your skin before October 9, return to the reward screen after playing rather than trying to choose the same cosmetic again. You receive one skin, not all 265 choices.
Which skins are included in Mobile Legends Gala Weekend?
The selection covers several older series, with community screenshots showing choices from Lightborn, S.A.B.E.R., V.E.N.O.M., Dragon Tamer and Blazing Bounties. There are different cosmetic tiers in the pool, so don’t assume all 265 are Epic or that every limited collaboration skin is included.
The best pick is one you’ll actually use, whether that means a skin for your main hero or a missing entry from a favourite series. Inspect your account’s selection page before confirming because it shows the cosmetics you can really claim. The Mobile Legends Gala Weekend reward should not be confused with the separate free Layla Collector skin.
Mobile Legends Gala Weekend bonus rewards
The October event notes also list additional login rewards. Make sure you open the bonus panel even if you’ve already received the free permanent skin.
| Reward | Requirement |
|---|---|
| One permanent skin from 265 options | Two completed matches or one teamed match |
| Festive Flare animated emote | Weekend login reward |
| 300 Battle Pass EXP | Weekend login reward |
| 10 Lucky Gems | Listed in original-server event notes |
MOONTON’s wider announcement also refers to Premium Skin Fragments, so inspect the current bonus page on your server for the exact items available. A separate trial period provides temporary access to skins, heroes and emblems, but those trials aren’t part of the one permanent Mobile Legends Gala Weekend skin choice.

Why your Mobile Legends Gala Weekend reward isn’t showing
If the progress counter stays at zero, make sure the match finished normally and is eligible under the event’s rules. Open the task page to check which route you’re using. Group with a friend before entering a match if you’re trying the single-match option.
If the progress bar is filled but the skin hasn’t appeared, look for the Claim button. Then check the correct hero and skin name in the wardrobe. The event follows server time, so changing your device clock cannot reopen it after the closing deadline.
Is Mobile Legends Gala Weekend the same as Layla’s Stellar Gala?
No. Layla’s Prismatic Rhythm Collector skin belongs to a different reward track, running from October 9 until November 19, with the Starfall Breakout minigame and event tasks. Nana’s Celebration Pass also continues into November, while Chou has his own anniversary puzzle.
If you only have a short session available, claim the Mobile Legends Gala Weekend permanent skin first because its window is much shorter. The longer Layla and Nana activities will still be there after the weekend. Other account freebies are covered in our Mobile Legends codes guide.
