Riot Games is overhauling the League of Legends esports ecosystem starting in 2025. The changes include a unified split schedule across all regions and reducing the number of teams within tier-one leagues.
Dive into the HUGE changes coming to LoL Esports in 2025
Starting next season, League esports will kick off its competitive year with the Winter Split, before moving on to an as-yet-unnamed third international event, the Spring Split, the Mid-Season Invitational, and then the Summer Split and World Championship.
Riot also provided a first look at the new regional structures coming to League esports next year, which will include the merger of several tier-one leagues with their nearest neighbors, including a merger of the LCS, CBLOL, and LLA.
The new structure brings a three-way format to all regions to promote a higher level of competition and better showcase regional talents on a larger stage through a conference system.
