- November 13-15: BLAST's live arena playoff days at AsiaWorld-Arena.
- November 14: League of Legends Worlds final at Barclays Center, Brooklyn.
- Bracket watch: Check organizers' match pages for confirmed participants and start times.
November 14: League of Legends Worlds final
The 2026 League of Legends World Championship concludes on Saturday, November 14, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Riot Games' official Worlds primer lists the final for 2 p.m. Eastern time, equivalent to 19:00 UTC and 8 p.m. Central European time.
The final follows the knockout rounds held in Allen, Texas, earlier in November. Riot's schedule describes the knockout stage as best-of-five; the final decides the championship. The official LoL Esports schedule is the place to confirm the finalists and current match information as the bracket is updated.
Because this article covers the week rather than a single live match, readers should check the official match listing for the latest team pairing and any production or start-time changes. Do not assume a participant solely from an older bracket before the semifinal results have been entered.
November 11-15: BLAST Premier Rivals Hong Kong
Counter-Strike's BLAST Premier Rivals Hong Kong brings eight teams to an event scheduled across five days. BLAST lists a $1 million prize pool and identifies the competing teams as Spirit, Legacy, Vitality, MOUZ, G2, Falcons, FURIA and FUT Esports.
According to the organizer's announcement, the live arena playoff days run November 13-15 at AsiaWorld-Arena in Hong Kong. Those rounds determine which teams remain in contention for the trophy after the earlier matches.
The official BLAST match page lists four opening pairings for November 11: Legacy vs FURIA, Vitality vs Falcons, Spirit vs FUT Esports, and MOUZ vs G2. Later opponents depend on those results. Displayed match times can reflect the viewer's local settings, so check the time zone on the live schedule.
What to watch in the bracket
At Worlds, the final is a single best-of-five series for the title. That makes each game part of a larger match: the first team to win three games takes the series. The final's New York location also means that viewers in Europe and Asia will see different local dates or evening and overnight start times.
In Hong Kong, the opening group matches set the next round's pairings. The organizer lists subsequent winner and elimination matches, so a team's first result affects which opponent and bracket path it faces. The playoff field and exact series timings should be checked after the group stage is completed.
FURIA enter as the previous Hong Kong champions, according to BLAST. That history adds context to their opening series against Legacy, although it does not determine this year's result. Each team still has to advance through the current bracket.
Valorant and Dota 2: check the current schedules
International esports calendars also include Valorant and Dota 2, but this guide does not assign a specific premier match in this week to either game without a verified organizer listing. Check the official Valorant Esports site and relevant event organizers for the latest announcements, regional matches and streams.
Dates in this guide refer to the event's local calendar unless otherwise stated. Confirm the venue, time zone, match participants and broadcast availability directly with the organizer before planning to watch. An unlisted fixture here is not proof that no other event exists.
