It's that time of the year again. Worlds is exactly one month away and ticket sales will go online soon.
The 2025 League of Legends World Championship begins on October 14, and will be held in Beijing, China, this year. If you're in or looking to travel to Beijing, you'll be able to snag some Worlds tickets starting from Tuesday, the 16th of September, if you're a Mastercard cardholder. These are presale Worlds tickets, and they're limited to two tickets per person.
General tickets will be available beginning from next Friday, the 19th of September.
Whether you're a Mastercard cardholder or not, the price of the tickets is the same:
Tier 1: ¥488.00
Tier 2: ¥388.00
These tickets are valid for the entirety of the Play-In and Swiss stages of Worlds. Tickets for the Quarterfinals and Semifinals in Shanghai, as well as for the Grand Finales in Chengdu, will be sold separately at a later date.
To purchase your tickets, you'll want to navigate to one of two ticketing websites, depending on if you're purchasing domestic or international tickets.
Who is Playing?
Of the 17 teams invited to Worlds 2025, only 9 teams have been locked at this current junction. We'll know about all of the participants for the Play-In and Swiss Stage as the remaining regional Splits comes to a close later on in the month.
Korea (LCK)
Four LCK teams will be present at Worlds 2025, of which three are already confirmed—KT Rolster and Hanwha Life Esports, thanks to their placements in the LCK 2025 Season Playoffs, and Gen.G, due to their success at MSI earlier this year.
The last remaining Korean team will be determined during the same Playoffs, and confirmed by the 28th of September. It will potentially be the reigning champions, T1, or Dplus KIA, and BNK FEARX.
