Ready for the Biggest Showdown

This is it, the very best League of Legends teams in the globe will make their final preparations before they make their regions proud and fight for the biggest honor of all: the title of World Champions.

With three-consecutive titles under their belts, you will not want to take your eyes off of T1. Can Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok continue to add to his astounding legacy, or will this finally be the year someone dethrones T1 and new champions rise to stardom?

Teams like Bilibili Gaming and Hanwha Life Esports have shown incredible form throughout the year, coming away with one international trophy apiece this season. But as we all know, when it comes to Worlds, just about anything can happen. 

Make sure to follow all of the action at Worlds 2026 once the event officially kicks off on Thursday, October 15!
