The LEC Roadtrip: How does it work?

The entire Roadtrip initiative was started by the LEC in order to let teams engage with their local fanbases during the course of a Split, thus bringing the league and its fans closer together. Despite these Roadtrips, however, the rest of the LEC will go on as usual.

Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming LEC Roadtrips:

  • All of the LEC matches being hosted by the teams during each Roadtrip stopped will also be streamed live on the official LEC Twitch and YouTube channels.
  • Information regarding LEC Roadtrip tickets, including sales dates and prices, will be announced by the hosting teams on their respective channels.
  • The 2025 LEC Roadshow is separate from the Roadtrips, and will still take place at the end of the Summer Split, with more information on the event coming shortly.
  • The LEC Roadtrips will not interfere with the rest of the LEC Spring Split. Matches scheduled to take place during the same weekend as LEC Roadtrip events will take place as usual at the Riot Games Arena in Berlin.
  • The LEC Roadtrip in France will be hosted in French, while the LEC Roadtrip in Spain will be hosted in Spanish.

Ultimately, the LEC Roadtrips aim to deliver innovative new ways of sharing our passion for League of Legends. There is no doubt that Movistar KOI and Karmine Corp fans bring incredible passion to the league. For this reason, France and Spain seem like the perfect place to start this new chapter for the LEC.
