The 2026 League of Legends World Championship is upon us as 19 teams from across the world lock horns in pursuit of the Summoner's Cup.
Teams from six regions will do battle in their bid to be named world champions and claim the bumper $1m prize money on offer for the winners of the Grand Finals.
2026 sees the Champs head for the United States for the first time since 2022, where six-time champions T1 will look to secure a fourth consecutive title.
Three venues are set to host the Champs, with the Riot Games Arena in Los Angeles the stage for the Play-In, before the competition moves to the Credit Union of Texas Event Center for the Swiss Stage.
Finally, it will be all eyes on the Barclays Center in New York for the highly-anticipated Grand Finals.
LCK's T1 have been the powerhouse of the World Champs for several years, however an unsteady season has seen their odds drift slightly.
The defending World champions are chasing a fourth successive title but an inconsistent 2026 has opened the door for rivals to steal a march on them.
The primary threat for T1 this time around could come from fellow LCK team Gen.G, winners of both the LCK Cup and the 2026 season championship.
Gen.G are the early favourites to triumph in North America in 2026, although the competition is expected to be strong, especially from seasoned outfits like Hanwha Life Esports and Bilibili Gaming.
