League of Legends Worlds 2026 came to North America this year, the final is at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the first one ever on the East Coast, and after this week there's no North American team left in it. LYON was the last one and Gen.G sent them home 3-0. So the party is in America and the guests are from Korea and China.
Here's where LoL Worlds 2026 stands going into the semifinals.
Worlds 2026 quarterfinal results
- Invictus Gaming 3-1 TOP Esports
- Gen.G 3-0 LYON

- T1 vs Karmine Corp, Friday Nov 6 at 5 PM ET. T1 has won the last three Worlds and KC is the last team Europe has.
Worlds 2026 semifinals schedule

- Saturday, Nov 7, 5 PM ET: Gen.G vs Invictus Gaming
- Sunday, Nov 8, 5 PM ET: Bilibili Gaming vs the winner of T1 and Karmine Corp
The Worlds 2026 final
- Saturday, Nov 14, 2 PM ET
- Barclays Center, Brooklyn, first Worlds final on the East Coast
- Riot is doing a Fan Fest at Pier 36 in Lower Manhattan, Nov 12 to 14, with a watch party for the final, cosplay, meet and greets, and a graffiti wall. Cosplay signups close Nov 8.
The storylines
Gen.G went 3-0 in Swiss and hasn't looked rattled once. They're the team everybody else has to get through.
BLG just swept a DK team that hadn't lost a series, and if T1 wins Friday they get a rematch of the 2024 Worlds final that they lost. That's personal.
T1 is chasing a fourth straight title. If they get past KC, it might be the most stacked semifinal weekend we've had in years.
North America is out again, at a Worlds on home soil. LYON gave us a real run, and Inspired has been here before, he had FlyQuest up 2-1 on Gen.G in 2024. Same team, same wall.
If you're in New York the week of the 14th, the Fan Fest is the move, and I'll have the full weekend recapped in this week in esports. Who you got winning it all? Tell me in the CXM Discord.
