Games developer Riot Games has unveiled the locations for its international League of Legends esports events in 2026 and 2027.
Announced during League of Legends’ first dev blog of 2025, Riot Games’ Global Head of League of Legends Esports, Chris Greeley, and COO of Esports, Whalen Rozelle, revealed that the 2026 World Championship will take place in North America.
North America last hosted the League of Legends World Championship in 2022, with the event held across San Francisco, Atlanta, New York and Mexico City.
Moreover, fans from the continent won’t have to wait until 2026 for a League of Legends international event as it was announced last year that MSI 2025 will be held in Canada.
