The 2026 LCS Spring Split is just around the corner! From Opening Week to Spring Finals in Arizona, here’s everything you need to know.

Opening Week Presented by Mastercard: April 4–5

The road to MSI starts April 4-5 with Opening Week Presented by Mastercard, live from the Riot Games Arena (RGA). We’re kicking things off with an April Fool’s theme to set the tone for a season that blends high-stakes competition with the personality and culture that define North America.

2026 LCS Spring Split Regular Season and Playoffs Schedule

The 2026 Spring Split features a best-of-three round-robin regular season, ensuring more games, deeper rivalries, and a clear competitive arc from Week 1 to Finals. At the end of the regular season, the top six teams advance to a double-elimination playoff bracket that mirrors the Lock-In structure. Every series matters, and every adjustment counts.

What’s on the Line: MSI and the Korea Bootcamp

Spring doesn’t end with Finals.

The top two teams head to MSI in South Korea, and we’re extending international preparation even further. Riot will provide a fully funded, two-week Korea bootcamp during MSI for:

• The third-place LCS team from Spring

• The second- and third-place teams from CBLOL

• The winner of the Americas Cup

That’s four Americas teams training together in Korea, practicing in solo queue and scrimming against MSI-qualified teams in one of the world’s most competitive environments.

This Americas-focused approach is central to strengthening regional competitiveness and growing fandom across leagues. Feedback from teams and fans will continue shaping how this program evolves.

LCS Fantasy: Your Always-On Home Base

In 2026, the LCS Fantasy app becomes a comprehensive hub for fans. Schedules, standings, content, and fantasy integration all live in one place, making it easier than ever to follow the league and compete with your friends.

New system-wide improvements introduce:

• Achievements and engagement opportunities throughout the week

• A revamped front page (no login required)

• Visible, accessible standings to help you manage your league and adjust picks

We’re building this as a true home for LCS fans everywhere, whether you’re tuning in every weekend or tracking every stat between matches. Let us know what you think!

With FURIA already qualified through their Americas Cup victory, the path forward is clear: perform in Spring, earn your spot, and compete with the best. Stay tuned for more updates, and follow us on socials!
