LoL Esports to Debut New Kickoff Event for 2023 Season

Nine regional leagues will celebrate start of the new competitive year for both League of Legends Ranked Play and LoL Esports during two-day event

With the start of a new year comes a blank canvas, a fresh start for us all, from the World Champions to those climbing ranked. With this journey in mind, LoL Esports is excited to announce a brand new competitive event: Season Kickoff! For the first time, we will celebrate the start of the League of Legends ranked season and the LoL Esports season together. From January 10-11, 2023, the LCS, LEC, LCK, LPL, LJL, CBLOL, LLA, PCS, and VCS will host a special two-day broadcasted event previewing the 2023 season and highlighting players to watch, giving fans a first look at Season 2023 on the Rift, and a peek at what’s in store for LoL Esports. More information about the event format and schedule will be released soon. The Kickoff event will replace the League of Legends All-Star Event. While All-Stars has provided players and fans with countless special moments over the years, the current calendar can be challenging for many All-Star players. Replacing All-Stars with the Season Kickoff event will ultimately provide a much-deserved break for pro players and an exciting new platform for fans that will supplement the end-of-year local competitions and celebrations that regions typically hold during this period.
