2026 LEC Season | Format Explainer

Video Overview & Insights

New year, new tournament, and the formats you love!

Yeah if LR is not in the other 2 splits I doubt anyone will care to watch.

— @DiVaioLoLGameplay

Get ready for more matches, stakes, and even more Roadtrips across EMEA.

Here’s everything you need to know about the 2026 LEC Season - we can’t wait to see you there!

So what if an ERL Team is climbing out as the winner of the wintersplit. Just hypthotetical , they would still get excluded from spring?

BO1 format is a joke, get ready to get our EU asses clapped in First Stand! Because EU team will lack the fearless drafting!

So hypothetically if One of the ers wins the lec versus Is qualified to First stand? So if then It wins also the First stand it qualifies to msi, and if It wins the msi, theoretically One of these teams can play worlds, right?

It should be the freaking standard to get rid of the paycheck stealers. Two bottom teams out, top 2 Masters get in.

Not sure how I feel about coming to the U.S. right now, considering the sociopolitical climate -- that's gonna be a huge problem for international fans coming to the States :/

봄, 여름의 정규 리그에 경기수는 늘어 나나요?

리 빌딩한 팀이 제대로 전력을 가다듬지도 못할 만큼의 경기수로는 의미가 없습니다.

Is it still gonna be fearless draft?

@gsmayy1728

The only problem i fear is that were going to have 1 to 2 week breaks during the split again. And it makes no sense. Either schedule better or play on more days.

Pathetic move by Riot for the audiences.

I don't comment a lot but here we go... No you guys didn't hear us. We've always been saying the format is awful and our players don't play enough matches. LPL and LCK play 2 times more than LEC, no wonder we get CLAPPED on international competition.

Cringe LR favoritism..

@filip4669

LEC should split like LTA system. All EMEA regions aren't representated in LEC. This is unjust and boring tbh.

@aht291
@

this is literally "how to not know when to announce new formats"
they literally announce it at a time where NO ONE on this world cares about domestic leagues because everyone is focused on worlds and mybe emea masters

Will we have fearless draft?

Hello Max, stop taking us for dumb people. Los Ratones have a free pass because of the numbers, you dont care about their performance, energy or whatever you talking about. At least you could be honest.

Beside of that, the spring and summer splits are going to be insane, really good to extend the BO3 against all of the teams :)

@AwalPay
@

Thank you 😭😭

@Severos66
@

Why do you say "Your feedback means a lot" when 10 out of 10 presidents of LEC's teams told you bringing ERL's team was absolute garbage ?
Just quit and give LEC's direction to people who care about it, not about Caedrel's cock.

@douud1362
@

just keep Los Ratones in LEC if they perform at play-off team level and qualify at least in Play-off ahead of some other teams
