The League of Legends World Championship starts in under two weeks. Where will the action be and how can one attend? Here are the LoL Worlds 2026 location and venues, as well as how to get tickets for the event.

LoL Worlds 2026 location

This year, the 2026 League of Legends World Championship will take place in North America. Each stage will have a different venue.

• Play-in Stage: The play-in will take place in the Riot Games Arena in Los Angeles, California. This is the same venue as the LCS matches, with a capacity of 246.
• Swiss Stage: The Swiss Stage goes to Allen, Texas. The LoL Worlds 2026 location for this part of the event will be the Credit Union of Texas Event Center. The Swiss venue has a capacity of 8,600 seats.
• Quarterfinals and Semifinals: The quarters and semis will re-use the venue from the Swiss Stage.
• Grand final: The LoL Worlds 2026 final location will be the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. This arena has a capacity of 19,000 seats.

The LoL Worlds 2026 locations are brand new in LoL Esports history, aside from the Riot Games Arena.

LoL Worlds 2026 ticket sales

For the tickets that are still available, all information on tickets can be found on the LoL Esports website. Entries were available in two forms, the Fan First and the general admission.

Fan First required pre-registering during the month of June using one’s Riot account to verify them. Then, this opened a purchase window at some point after July 22.

Otherwise, general admission opened July 24. With it, anyone could and still can (pending availability) purchase 2026 LoL World Championship tickets.

For any LoL Worlds 2026 location, the ticket prices are around:

• $100 for the lowest category
• $150 for the medium category
• $250 for the best category

By now, its only scalpers reselling these tickets, as sales for each LoL Worlds 2026 location complete within minutes at most. Given the lack of competition, those scalpers offer no prices under four figures, ranging between $1100 and $5000 a seat.

If you were able to get a ticket and want to share the experience or want to redistribute one (or shop for one), head over to our forums.
