MLBB & SpongeBob Collaboration Event Dates and Availability
The main event, including skin releases and shop items, goes live on December 19, 2025. Pre-event activities started on November 18 with coin collection, and the full Friend Fest launched on November 21.
Keep in mind that the event is only available in certain regions. Players are restricted in areas, like Russia, and they will not get SpongeBob skins. Instead, you may see placeholder epic skins or alternate events.
Confirmed Skins from the Collab
So far, only two skins are confirmed from the MLBB & SpongeBob:
-
Cyclops SpongeBob: An epic-quality skin featuring jellyfish-catching animations. You can get this skin completely free by participating in the event.
-
Gloo Patrick: A paid skin available through diamond gacha or the event shop on launch day. This duo pairs perfectly with Cyclops for squad matches.
Make sure to check the in-game previews in the event tab to enjoy voice lines and other Bikini Bottom-themed effects.
