LCS NA
The League Championship Series (LCS) 2026 marks the return of North America’s flagship League of Legends esports league as a standalone top-tier competition after structural changes in previous seasons. Originally launched in 2013, the LCS has long been a core pillar of the global LoL esports ecosystem, competing alongside elite regions such as the LCK, LEC, and LPL. Following the short-lived transition into the League of Legends Tier-One Association (LTA), the LCS is fully reinstated in 2026, while the LTA structure is discontinued. The revived LCS once again features North America’s leading professional teams competing across a seasonal format for domestic titles, championship points, and qualification to international events including the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) and the League of Legends World Championship. With renewed focus on regional identity, competitive stability, and global relevance, LCS 2026 re-establishes itself as the primary destination for North American League of Legends esports, delivering high-profile matches, international stakes, and consistent viewership across the LoL competitive calendar.
