How to Watch Replay in MLBB (2026 Guide)

Replays are one of the most underused features in Mobile Legends. You hit a sick triple kill, you get stomped in ranked, or you want to figure out what that enemy jungler was doing the entire game. The replay system lets you revisit any of that. This guide walks you through exactly how to find and watch replays in MLBB, how to save them, and how to actually use them to get better.

#Where to Find the Replay Feature in MLBB

The replay system sits inside your profile, not on the main lobby screen. A lot of players never find it because they're looking in the wrong place.

Here's how to get there:

1. Open the game and go to the main lobby.
2. Tap your profile picture in the top-left corner.
3. Select Battlefield from the menu tabs.
4. Tap the Replay tab.

That's it. You'll see a list of your most recent matches, with basic info like hero used, match result (Win/Loss), and the date played.

#How to Watch a Specific Match Replay

Once you're in the Replay tab, you'll see your last few matches displayed in order. MLBB auto-saves your 5 most recent matches, so if you're looking for something older, you'll need to have saved it manually first (more on that below).

To watch a replay:

1. Find the match you want in the list.
2. Tap it to select it.
3. Confirm with OK when prompted.
4. The replay loads and plays automatically from the start of the match.

While watching, you have a few controls at your disposal:

• Speed controls: You can watch at 1x, 2x, or 4x speed. Useful for fast-forwarding through quiet early-game phases.
• Pause: Tap to pause at any point, useful for studying positioning or ability timing.
• Exit: Hit the X button in the top-right corner to leave the replay at any time.

One thing to note: you cannot rewind or skip to a specific timestamp. The replay runs forward only. If you want to re-watch an earlier moment, you have to exit and start the replay over from the beginning. It's a known limitation of how MLBB stores replay data (the game re-runs player inputs rather than storing a video file), and it's something the community has been asking the devs to fix for a while.

#How to Switch POV in Replay

This is where the replay system becomes genuinely powerful. You are not locked into your own hero's perspective.

During any replay, you can switch your point of view to any hero in the match. Your teammates, your enemies. All of them. Want to watch how the enemy Fanny was rotating? Switch to her POV and see every cable swing she made. Curious why your teammate kept dying top lane? Watch from their perspective.

To switch POV, tap on the hero icon of the player you want to spectate during the replay. This works for all 10 heroes in the match.

You can also see:

• Items built throughout the game (full itemization per hero)
• Battle spells used
• KDA stats for every player

This single feature makes MLBB's replay system significantly more useful than it looks at first glance.

#How to Save a Replay in MLBB

MLBB only auto-saves your last 5 matches. If a game drops off that list before you save it, it's gone.

Here's how to save a replay manually:

1. Go to Profile > Battlefield > Replay tab.
2. Find the match you want to keep.
3. Tap the Save button on that match entry. The replay is now pinned to your account.
4. To download it as a video to your device, switch to the My Replay tab.
5. Tap the down arrow (download icon) next to the saved replay.
6. The video exports to your device's gallery or file storage.

Important: Saved replays get deleted after game patches. Because replays are stored as a sequence of player inputs replayed against the live game engine, any balance change or update makes old replays incompatible with the new game version. This is why a replay from two weeks ago might suddenly say it can't be played. Download replays you care about before the next update drops.

You can manually save up to 10 replays to your account, in addition to the 5 auto-saved recent matches.

#How to Use Replays to Actually Improve

Most players watch replays to clip highlights. That's fine, but you're leaving a lot of value on the table if that's all you're doing.

Here's how to use replays like a player who wants to climb:

Review Deaths, Not Kills

Your kills usually take care of themselves. Your deaths are where you lose games. After a rough match, watch every single death from your own POV. Ask yourself: Were you overextended? Did you have no vision? Did you misuse a skill? One pattern will repeat, and that pattern is your biggest weakness right now.

Watch the Enemy Jungler

Switch to the enemy jungler's POV for the first 10 minutes. See their rotation path, which buffs they took first, when they invaded, and when they backed off. Most players have no idea what the opposing jungle is doing until they're already dead. Watching replays fixes this faster than any guide.

Compare Your Map Awareness

Play the replay at 2x speed and watch the minimap instead of the heroes. See how often objectives spawn and how many players from both teams react. If you're consistently late to every turtle or lord fight, the problem is map awareness, and now you have proof to work on it.

Study Your Macro Decisions

After winning a teamfight, what did your team do? Did you push? Did you go for Lord? Did you scatter? Replay the 30 seconds after every major fight and see where gold and pressure were lost or gained. This is how you develop game sense.

#Common Replay Problems and Fixes

Replay says "cannot be played" or is greyed out The game received an update after the match was recorded. There's no fix. Download important replays before updates.

Replay tab is empty This happens if you haven't played enough matches since the last update, or if your app data was cleared. Play a match and check again.

Replay loads but goes black Try closing the game fully, restarting the app, and trying again. If it persists, the replay file may be corrupted from an interrupted match.

Can I watch replays on a different device? No. Replays are tied to the local install on the device you played on. You can't transfer them across devices directly. Your only option is to screen-record the replay on one device and transfer the video file manually.
