The 2026 LoL Worlds Finals bring plenty of firsts, notably marking the first-ever League of Legends World Championship final hosted on the East Coast of the United States, taking place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

For Gen.G, this is their first-ever League of Legends World Championship final under the Gen.G name, following the organization's acquisition of Samsung Galaxy in 2018. Meanwhile, Bilibili Gaming returns to the LoL Worlds finals for the first time since 2024, when they finished as runners-up to T1. It sets up a full-circle moment for Bilibili Gaming, who defeated the three-time defending champions in the semifinals to advance to this year's final.

If Gen.G wins the final, the LCK region will record its fifth consecutive and 11th overall world championship, while a Bilibili Gaming victory would bring the title back to the LPL region for the first time in five years.
