Upcoming League of Legends Organized Play Tournaments in 2026

Community competition has always been a part of League of Legends and we have more opportunities upcoming for players to gather and compete.

Whether you're looking to test your skills, experience the intensity of competitive play, or simply meet new people who share your love for the game, Organized Play aims to make competition more accessible to players of all skill levels.

From casual tournaments to more competitive experiences, here’s a look at some of the upcoming community tournaments and activities across APAC, and how you can get involved.
