Riot Games has unveiled the host locations for its international League of Legends esports events in 2026 and 2027, marking a global celebration of the game’s competitive scene. The announcement was made during League of Legends’ first developer blog of 2025, with Chris Greeley, Global Head of League of Legends Esports, and Whalen Rozelle, COO of Esports, sharing the exciting news. In 2026, the League of Legends World Championship will return to North America, a region that last hosted the event in 2022 across San Francisco, Atlanta, New York, and Mexico City. Fans won’t have to wait until 2026 for international action in the region, as Canada will host the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) in 2025, highlighting Riot's commitment to bringing esports events to new and established audiences. This marks the first time since MSI 2017 that Brazil will welcome a major League of Legends competition. Whalen Rozelle praised the region's passion for esports, stating, “Brazilian fans bring amazing energy to live events, and we’re excited to kick off the season in such a vibrant esports community.” Meanwhile, MSI 2026 will take place in South Korea, a country synonymous with League of Legends esports excellence. Riot is also debuting two new regional leagues: the LCP (Pacific) and the LTA (Americas), further expanding the League of Legends esports ecosystem.
