Only one team will emerge with the first title of the season and the honor of representing North America at the First Stand Tournament (FST) in São Paulo this March. With a two-week superweek gauntlet ahead, every match matters, every draft is under the microscope, and momentum could define the year to come.
Playoff tickets are on sale now, and with everything on the line, you won’t want to miss a moment. Join us in-person at the Riot Games Arena in Los Angeles, or watch live at LoLEsports.com!
6 teams have secured their spots and are one step closer to the Lock-In trophy:
FlyQuest (FLY)
Cloud9 Kia (C9)
Sentinels (SEN)
Disguised (DSG)
Team Liquid Alienware (TLAW)
LYON (LYON)
Each brings a different identity, a different path to victory, and the same goal: start 2026 on top.
