League of Legends Worlds 2024 UPDATE: Venues & Schedule

The League of Legends World Championships 2024 promises high-stakes action. From September 25 to November 2, this year’s Worlds tournament will see the best teams from around the globe battle it out across Europe. Only one team among 20 is destined to be victorious from the month-long bloodbath.

Tournament Schedule and Format

Worlds 2024 follows a slightly refined tournament format, featuring three elimination stages. Mark your calendars for the following events:

• Play-In Stage: September 25-29

Out if eight teams will compete in two double-elimination brackets, only four will be able to advance to the next stage. 

• Swiss Stage: October 3-13

Twelve teams plus the four from  the Play-Ins will fight for survival in a five-round Swiss format. Teams with three wins progress, while those with three losses are eliminated. 

• Knockout Stage: October 17-November 2

The final eight teams will enter a single-elimination bracket. All matches in this stage are best-of-five series. This is where champions are made, and dreams are shattered.

The Grand Finals is scheduled on November 2,  where the remaining top two most skilled contenders will face off in an ultimate showdown. The winning team will be crowned Worlds 2024 champions.
