League of Legends fans in North America now officially know where the 2024 LCS Championship will be held. The 6,000-capacity YouTube Theater in Los Angeles will host North America’s best players as they battle for the Summer Split trophy from September 6-7, Riot Games announced today.

Dive into the HUGE changes coming to LoL Esports in 2025

While LCS Finals have been held in Los Angeles in the past, this will be the first time the Summer Split Finals will be decided in LA. The 2024 LCS Spring Finals will be played at the 300-seat Riot Games Arena, the same venue as the regular season.

In the press release, Riot announced that it plans to fill at least 5,000 of the 6,000 allotted seats for this event. As Riot has done with events in the past, it is partnering with Mastercard to offer a 24-hour pre-sale purchase window. This offer is exclusive to Mastercard holders and begins at 12:00 p.m. CT on Thursday, June 27. For non-Mastercard holders, tickets go on sale at 12:00 p.m. CT on Friday, June 28.

This could be the last true LCS finals in its current form, after Riot recently announced that it is drastically changing the landscape of League esports in 2025. These changes include the merger of the LCS with the CBLoL and the LLA to form an Americas League. This new league will split the region into two conferences, with the North Conference featuring six LCS teams, one from the LLA, and one team from NA's tier-two scene. This means that the LCS branding could change to fit the new Americas League, although Riot has yet to make a decision on this.
