Riot Games will open a second wave of ticket sales for the 2026 League of Legends World Championship (Worlds), which will take place in the United States.
This second wave will be exclusively available to fans who have already registered for Fan Fest.
When Does the Worlds 2026 Second Ticket Wave Begin?
The second ticket wave for LoL Worlds 2026 will start on September 1 at 8 am PT. However, it will only be available to fans who have already registered for Fan Fest, meaning new registrants will not be eligible to participate in this ticket sale.
Eligible registrants will receive an email on August 31 at 8 am PT confirming whether they meet the criteria to participate.
Riot Games has also announced an important change ahead of the second ticket wave. Eligible fans will no longer be randomly selected for access to the queue. Everyone who registered and meets the eligibility criteria will be able to enter the queue when the sale goes live.
Keep in mind that access to the queue does not guarantee tickets, as availability is limited and tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
How to Buy LoL Worlds Tickets
If you're eligible to purchase Worlds tickets, you'll need to visit the LoL Esports Tickets page and sign in with your Riot ID. You'll then be asked to select your preferred ticket window based on the event stage and location.
You will have 24 hours to complete your purchase. Once your ticket purchase window closes, you will no longer have access to the Fan First Access sale.
