LoL Worlds 2025 Kicks Off October 14 — The Battle for the Summoner’s Cup Returns to China
The 2025 League of Legends World Championship is right around the corner, running from October 14 to November 9 across three major Chinese cities — Beijing, Chengdu, and Shanghai. The world’s top 24 teams are preparing to clash for the ultimate title in esports: the Summoner’s Cup.
A Global Esports Spectacle
Worlds 2025 marks the long-awaited return of the tournament to China, one of the biggest regions in competitive League of Legends. This year’s championship promises next-level production, a roaring live audience, and unforgettable matchups between the best teams from around the world.
Each stage will be hosted in a different city:
Beijing — Play-In and Swiss Stages
Chengdu — Quarterfinals and Semifinals
Shanghai — Grand Finals
This three-city format aims to celebrate China’s growing esports legacy while giving fans across the country a chance to witness the event in person.
The Road to Glory
Top organizations from every major region — including LCK (Korea), LPL (China), LEC (Europe), and LCS (North America) — will compete alongside rising teams from emerging regions. With legendary rosters evolving and new talent stepping up, Worlds 2025 could reshape the global League of Legends landscape.
Early favorites like T1, Gen.G, Bilibili Gaming, and G2 Esports are already drawing fan attention, but as always, the World Championship is known for underdog surprises and breakout stars.
Fans Return in Full Force
Unlike 2020’s restricted event, this year’s Worlds will welcome fans back into the arena — and Riot Games has teased massive production value, live performances, and an opening ceremony designed to rival major sports events. Expect exclusive Worlds merchandise, interactive fan zones, and unforgettable visuals throughout the month-long spectacle.
What’s at Stake
More than just a championship — Worlds 2025 represents legacy, pride, and the future of professional League of Legends. With veteran icons potentially making their final appearances and rising stars ready to seize the spotlight, every match could be historic.
The road ends in Shanghai on November 9, where one team will lift the Summoner’s Cup and cement their name in esports history.
