Our coast-to-coast Summer Split concludes with the LCS Championship at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey — and you’re invited!
It’s been a long time coming, but the LCS has finally returned to the tri-state area. Join us in the Garden State for an exceptional fan experience, from outdoor Fan Fest activities to a playoff finale where the result is anything but certain. Although all three competing teams will have already punched their tickets to Worlds, only one will walk away with the LCS Trophy and add their name to a legacy of champions.
Last spring at PNC Arena, it was Cloud9 overcoming Golden Guardians’ underdog story in a climatic grand final. Now, with both teams earning top seeds and byes in the Summer Playoffs, is a rematch in Newark on the cards? Or will another contender emerge to challenge the regular season hierarchy?
The answers are coming. But until then, there’s plenty to get excited about — here’s everything we’ve got planned for the LCS Championship at Prudential Center!

The 2023 LCS Championship is a multi-day live event that features the final two best-of-five matches of the 2023 LCS Summer Split. After a six-week double round robin, eight of the ten LCS teams qualified for the LCS Summer Playoffs, which began on July 27.
The top three teams from the LCS Summer Playoffs advance to the LCS Championship at Prudential Center and will represent North America at the 2023 League of Legends World Championship in South Korea later this year. The winner of the LCS Championship will take home the LCS Trophy and the league’s top seed at Worlds.
- **[1pm PT / 4pm ET]** Saturday, August 19 — Lower Bracket Final
