The LEC returns for its Summer Split on July 24, opening the most important stretch of the season with a road to Worlds that runs through Paris, Madrid and Nice.

The split spans nine weeks, from July 24 to September 20, with no mid-season break. It carries the same format fans know from Spring: BO3 (best-of-three) matches throughout the regular season, moving up to BO5s in the playoffs.

Format and schedule

Ten teams face off in a round-robin regular season, with the top six advancing to a double-elimination playoff bracket seeded by standings. The regular season runs from July 24 to August 30, with matches four days a week — Friday to Monday — outside of Roadtrip weekends.
