LCS Championship heads to Atlanta as Summer Split details revealed

Riot Games has unveiled the details of the 2026 LCS Summer Split, headlined by the announcement that the LCS Championship Driven by Kia — the Summer Finals — will be held at Gas South Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, on October 3 and 4. The venue, located just outside Atlanta and home to the Atlanta Gladiators, Georgia Swarm and Atlanta Vibe, can hold 13,000 fans. The two matches played there will decide the LCS title and finalise North America's seeding at Worlds 2026.

The Summer Split opens with a two-day Mastercard-presented Opening Week on July 25 and 26, featuring a fan tailgate, partner activations and a still-undisclosed theme. The regular season then continues at the LCS Face Off Studio
