ArenaPlus has rolled out a ₱100 million MVP Bracket Challenge as part of its ongoing NBA Playoffs campaign, expanding its lineup of free-to-play engagement features for Filipino basketball fans.
The initiative falls under the “NBA Playoffs MVP: Battle for the Most Valuable Predictor” campaign and introduces a bracket-style prediction format based on the NBA postseason. The format mirrors traditional playoff brackets, offering fans a familiar and interactive way to follow the tournament.
Running from April 11 to 18, 2026, the challenge is open to ArenaPlus users aged 21 and above. Participants can submit predictions for all 15 playoff matchups, with each user receiving two free entries. No deposit, wagers, or entry fees are required.
A grand prize of ₱100 million will be awarded to the participant with the highest number of correct predictions. In case of a tie, the earliest valid submission will determine the winner.
In addition, ArenaPlus has set aside a ₱50 million shared prize pool for top-performing participants who fall just short of the grand prize, such as those correctly predicting 14 matchups. This pool will be distributed among eligible entrants based on overall results.
All valid entries will also qualify for raffle draws, offering additional prizes including ₱1 million for 10 winners and ₱100,000 for 100 winners, further broadening participation incentives.
The campaign was introduced during a launch event at the SM Mall of Asia, featuring NBA star Derrick Rose.
ArenaPlus Head Erick Su said the challenge reflects how Filipino fans engage with basketball through analysis and prediction, adding that the format is designed to deepen interaction throughout the playoffs.
The MVP Bracket Challenge also builds on ArenaPlus’ earlier ₱1 billion “MVP Dream” campaign, continuing the platform’s strategy of integrating interactive, free-to-play mechanics into its sports offerings.
