About the League of Legends World Championships
League of Legends World Championship is a LoL season-culminating event held annually in October-November.
As the final event of a season, the LoL World Championship is also one of the biggest, most prestigious and most-watched esports tournaments in the world, which was first introduced in 2011.
Since its inception, LoL World Championship (or LoL Worlds) went from an event hosted during Dreamhack Summer 2011 to a stand-alone tournament which has, to date, visited some of the world's biggest stadiums such as Chase Center, Accor Arena, Incheon Munhak Stadium, and more.
Welcoming the world's best LoL teams from all regions, LoL Worlds is the biggest event of the season and the pinnacle of the LoL esports scene.
Where To Bet On The League of Legends Worlds
As one of the year's most prestigious LoL esports events, the LoL World Championship is extremely well covered by all betting sites, including esports bookmakers and traditional sportsbooks.
And since LoL is already covered well by most bookmakers, it shouldn't be surprising to learn that nearly all betting sites which offer esports betting markets will also cover LoL Worlds.
Some will also have special promotions and bonuses available for the duration of the event, including odds boosts, reload bonuses, and special markets, ensuring an enjoyable experience when betting on LoL Worlds.

League of Legends World Championship Format
League of Legends World Championship format has changed over the years, most recently in 2023, when it introduced a handful of adjustments.
In 2023, we got a new stage – a LoL Worlds Qualifying Series – which is a one-game stage featuring fourth seeds from the LoL Championship Series (LCS) and LoL EMEA Championship (LEC) who play one best-of-five (Bo5) series to determine which of the two teams advances to the LoL Worlds Play-In stage.
Besides the Qualifying Series, LoL Worlds is divided into three stages – the Play-In Stage, the Swiss Stage, and the Knockout Stage. In previous years, there was a group stage, which was replaced by a Swiss Stage in 2023.
Play-In Stage
- Eight teams
- Two double-elimination brackets
- All matches are best-of-three
- The upper bracket winner of one group plays the lower bracket winner of the other group in Bo5 series
- The winners of the Bo5 series advance to the Swiss Stage
Swiss Stage
- 16 teams
- Swiss Style format with five rounds
- Matchups are drawn after each round
- Teams which win three series advance
- Teams which lose three series get eliminated
- All matches are Bo1, except for Qualification and Elimination matches (Bo3)
Knockout Stage
- Eight teams
- Single-elimination bracket
- All matches, including the finals, are best-of-five (Bo5)

The players of the winning team of the LoL World Championship also get to help create their own in-game cosmetic skins for LoL champions, which get added to the in-game shop to commemorate the players' success.
The players receive a share of total sales on the said skins, so while the LoL Worlds champions receive roughly $835,000 in tournament winnings, they also continue to receive royalties from purchases of their custom skins.
