LEC Spring 2026 dates, format and roadshows in Madrid, Evry

The LEC Spring Split 2026 begins March 28 at 17:00 CEST with a best-of-three regular season. Both finalists will qualify for the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI). Playoffs run from May 23 through Finals weekend on June 6–7.

Most matchdays will be held at the Riot Games Arena in Berlin. Ten teams will play a single round-robin across seven weeks, with the top six advancing to a double-elimination playoff bracket. All playoff series are best-of-five.

Regular-season matchdays run Saturday through Monday. Two best-of-three series are scheduled each day starting at 17:00 CEST, except for the first three Saturdays, when broadcasts begin at 14:00 CEST to fit three series. Monday games will not have a live audience as organizers shift resources to more in-person events throughout the year.

The split uses the Fearless Draft format and keeps the First Selection ruleset introduced in 2026. Under First Selection, the team with side advantage can choose either Blue or Red side, or decide the draft order for each game.

The league will stage two roadshow events. The KC Roadshow runs April 24–26 in Évry-Courcouronnes, France, at Les Arènes de Grand Paris Sud, hosted by Karmine Corp. The MKOI Roadshow follows on May 8–10 in Madrid, Spain, at Madrid Arena, hosted by Movistar KOI. Each weekend runs Friday to Sunday with consecutive best-of-three series, on-site entertainment, and fan activities.
