The location for the LCK 2026 Grand Finals has been confirmed to take place at the KSPO Dome in the Olympic Park in Bangi-dong, Seoul.
According to a report by Korean outlet Daily Esports, the LCK champions will be crowned in front of 15,000 people on September 13th. The venue will also host the lower bracket finals on the day before, September 12th.
The KSPO Dome was previously used during the 2024 LCK Spring Finals, when Gen.G took down T1 in the grand final to lift the LCK trophy. On that occasion, the final series recorded over 2.6m viewers, the highest peak viewership number ever achieved in a non-international LoL esports event.
The report also confirmed that the location for the Road to MSI tournament will be the Wonju Sports Complex in Wonju, the most populous city in Gangwon Province, and located to the east of Seoul. As a multi-purpose stadium, the venue has an estimated capacity of 20,000 people.
Taking place from June 12th, and lasting three days, the venue will determine the two LCK representatives heading to the Mid-Season Invitational, which has been confirmed to take place in Daejeon, from June 26th to July 12th, 2026.
The LCK 2026 Will Kick Off After One of the Most Explosive Offseasons in Recent History
Even though the starting date has yet to be confirmed, the competitive season for the LCK is set to begin sometime in January with the LCK Cup.
After winning yet another world championship for T1, the Korean league witnessed a thrilling offseason with several major roster moves across top and bottom-tier teams.
Among the highlights, world champion ADC and Worlds Finals MVP Lee ‘Gumayusi’ Min-hyeong left T1 to join rivals Hanwha Life Esports, which also picked up jungler Seo ‘Kanavi’ Jin-hyeok to replace the retiring Han ‘Peanut’ Wang-ho. In his stead, T1 brought in youngster Kim ‘Peyz’ Su-hwan, previously of Gen.G and JD Gaming.
