Worlds FAQ

  • When and where is Worlds 2026?

    Play-In 15–18 October at the Riot Games Arena in Los Angeles; Swiss Stage 23–26 and 28–31 October and Knockout 3–8 November at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center in Allen, Texas; Final 14 November at Barclays Center, Brooklyn. Source: lolesports.com

  • How does the format work?

    Four Play-In teams play a best-of-five double-elimination bracket for one Swiss Stage spot; the Swiss Stage seeds the quarterfinals and semifinals, and the two semifinal winners meet in the Final on 14 November.

  • Where can I watch?

    Every game streams live on lolesports.com and on the LoL Esports channel on Twitch, with co-streams by partnered creators.

  • How is the meta table calculated?

    Worlds picks, bans and win rates count every tournament game from LoL Esports, with bans completed from Leaguepedia (CC BY-SA 3.0). The solo-queue column is ggez.gg's own ranked-solo data for the same patch, Emerald and above. Difference is the Worlds win rate minus the solo-queue win rate, in percentage points.

  • Why is the table empty right now?

    The tournament has not started. Until the first Play-In game on 15 October the page shows the current Emerald+ solo-queue meta and the pros already on the ranked ladder; tournament rows fill in as games are played.
