There are plenty of places to catch the LEC when the new season begins on Saturday, Jan. 21. As always, every gameday will be broadcasted on the official Riot Games channels on Twitch, YouTube, and Trovo. There are also multiple broadcasts in different languages, and fans can even link their LoL Esports accounts to Twitch to earn different types of drops while watching.
