A new season has come in the League of Legends competitive scene, bringing new formats for leagues, new rising talents and newly-formed rosters eyeing the Summoner’s Cup.
Most major leagues’ match times have been adjusted for the new year, and knowing when to watch your favorite matches can be challenging.
While the LCS daily schedule has been overhauled, the LEC has left its double Split format for a year divided into three splits. The LCK also saw a change in the weekend matches’ starting hours.
To help fans follow the League of Legends esports matches in the 2023 season, we’ve created shareable Google calendars for the LCS, LEC, and LCK.
They each feature all known matches when they’re announced, as well as links to watch them and notifications before they start. Fans can delete matches they don’t want to watch or remove notifications for them while keeping the ones they’re interested in.
The LCS broadcast schedule was heavily adjusted ahead of the 2023 season. It switched from primetime days and times to matches hosted at an early hour during weekdays. The overall format of the League, on the other side, hasn’t experienced significant changes.
The 2023 LCS Spring Split started on Jan. 26 and will last until March, 17. The full schedule has already been revealed by Riot Games and was integrated into the calendar.
The LEC has welcomed numerous changes in the 2023 season. It now refers to the EMEA Championship, and it’s been divided into three splits: Winter, Spring, and Summer seasons. The regular Splits were shortened, and teams played more best-of-three and playoff series. In addition, a season’s finals tournament will be hosted in August to crown an LEC champion.
The Winter season was dominated and won by G2 Esports last week. Now, Riot has revealed the full schedule of the Spring Season, which will also last for three weeks.
The 2023 LCK Spring Split lasts nine weeks, longer than both Western major leagues, and will end on March, 18. It features best-of-three matches from Wednesday to Sunday, starting at 2am CT on weekdays and at midnight on weekends.
The overall format isn’t changing from previous seasons, but the Korean Spring playoffs will feature a double-elimination bracket from the semifinals onwards.
