The anticipation is building as the location for the LCK 2026 Grand Finals has been set. Fans are gearing up to witness the excitement live at the KSPO Dome in Seoul’s Olympic Park. This vibrant venue is no stranger to electrifying esports moments, having hosted thrilling matches in the past.
The Stage is Set at KSPO Dome
Reports suggest that the LCK champions will be crowned on September 13th, with up to 15,000 fans filling the iconic KSPO Dome. The action-packed weekend will kick off on September 12th with the lower bracket finals, promising intense competition leading into the grand finale.
The KSPO Dome previously hosted the 2024 LCK Spring Finals, where Gen.G defeated T1. That event reached an incredible peak viewership of over 2.6 million, marking a significant milestone in esports history.
Upcoming Tournaments and Exciting Roster Changes
In addition to the LCK 2026 Grand Finals, the Road to MSI tournament will be held at the Wonju Sports Complex, capable of accommodating around 20,000 spectators. Starting June 12th and spanning three days, this tournament will decide which two LCK teams will advance to the Mid-Season Invitational in Daejeon, scheduled from June 26th to July 12th, 2026.
With the new season on the horizon, the LCK is buzzing with activity. Although the exact start date is still under wraps, it’s expected to kick off in January with intense competition during the LCK Cup. The offseason has been particularly dynamic this year, with major roster swaps making headlines. World champion ADC and MVP Lee ‘Gumayusi’ Min-hyeong has made a surprising move from T1 to Hanwha Life Esports, who also acquired jungler Seo ‘Kanavi’ Jin-hyeok. In response, T1 welcomed promising talent Kim ‘Peyz’ Su-hwan to their roster.
These developments promise an exhilarating season ahead, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
