League of Legends Worlds 2026: Swiss Stage

The Swiss Stage of the 2026 League of Legends World Championship begins in Allen, Texas, on October 23 and continues through October 31. Sixteen teams compete to reach the knockout stage, with qualification and elimination determined by their match records.
