2024 League of Legends World Championship

The 2024 League of Legends World Championship is an upcoming esports tournament for the multiplayer online battle arena video game League of Legends. It is the fourteenth iteration of the League of Legends World Championship, an annual international tournament organised by the game's developer, Riot Games. The tournament will be held from 25 September to 2 November in Berlin, Paris, and London. It will be the fifth time Europe has hosted the tournament, having held the event in 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2021. Twenty teams will qualify based on placement within their regional leagues and results gained in the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI).

The LCK's T1 are the defending champions.

Qualification
The League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), League of Legends Pro League (LPL), League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC), and the League Championship Series (LCS) will have three directly qualified teams to the Swiss stage. The region of the winner of the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational and the next best-performing region in the same tournament will also get an additional spot in the same phase, while two teams from the play-in stage will round up the sixteen teams that will comprise the Swiss stage. Following the results of MSI, the LCK and LPL will gain an additional slot in the tournament, with Gen.G of the LCK and Bilibili Gaming of the LPL making the final of MSI.

Six teams qualify for the play-in stage: The top two teams of the Pacific Championship Series 2024 Summer playoffs, the top two teams of the VCS 2024 Summer playoffs, the CBLOL 2024 Split 2 champion, and the LLA 2024 Closing playoffs champion.

This will be the final World Championship where teams from the PCS and VCS qualify for Worlds individually, as they will merge (alongside the LJL and LCO) to form a new Asia-Pacific league in 2025. Additionally, there are plans to merge the LCS, CBLOL and LLA into an Americas league with separate North and South Conferences that same year.

Venues
Berlin, Paris, and London were the three cities chosen to host the competition. The O2 Arena was announced as the Final venue during the 2023 League of Legends World Championship Final in Seoul, South Korea. Berlin's Riot Games Arena, which is the new studio for the League of Legends EMEA Championship, and the Adidas Arena, one of the venues of the 2024 Summer Olympics, were respectively announced as the venues for the play-in/Swiss stage and the quarterfinals/semifinals on 5 January 2024.

Both the Adidas Arena (2024) and the O2 Arena (2012) are the fourth and fifth venues, respectively, to have hosted the Olympic Games and the League of Legends World Championship after the Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul (2014 semifinals), the Beijing National Stadium (2017 final), and the AccorHotels Arena (2019 final), also in Paris.
