This is everything you need to know about the latest confirmed roster moves and rumors from the LCK 2026 offseason. It’s one of most exciting stove leagues in recent times so buckle up!
Updated as of November 21.
BNK FearX are likely going to make only one roster change in this offseason as they continue to foster the newer talents. Mid laner VicLa will be replaced by the academy mid laner Daystar with all the other players staying until the end of 2026.
Two roster moves for DN Freecs in the offseason as mid lane BullDoG and ADC Berserker have left the LCK to join the LPL and LCS, respectively. Clozer is confirmed to replace the mid laner, with former KT bot lane deokdam and Peter as the new duo. That being said, Life is also in the support role and will likely contest with Peter for the starting spot.

DK is set to keep its top side trio and make changes to the bot lane. Former T1 academy ADC Smash is rumored to join although his support is still a question mark. Among the free agents in the offseason, KT support Peter could be someone DK is considering.
DRX is underdoing another major rebuild for the coming season. Andil is the only player confirmed from last year. Top laner Rich is still contracted to 2026 but it’s still unconfirmed whether he will be on the starting roster.
With mid laner kyeahoo set to join KC in the LEC, the mid lane role is yet to be filled. For the other roles, the organization brought in Vincenzo and Jiwoo, previously on Nongshim.
After rumors stating that Gen.G was interested in bringing in Kael from Anyone’s Legend, Gen.G ended up keeping the same roster from the previous season. Duro has extended his contract while Canyon has re-signed as well despite receiving offers from several teams in the offseason. The only change for Gen.G comes from the coaching staff: head coach KIM has been replaced by former BNK FearX Ryu.

HLE did its best to recover from what could’ve been a disastrous offseason. With Peanut retiring for the mandatory military service as well as Viper leaving the team to head to the LPL, HLE were able to bring in two equally strong replacements while also locking in Zeus and Zeka for another season.
Even though they are yet to be confirmed, the Korean powerhouse will likely pick up Kanavi from the LPL and Gumayusi from T1, creating a rather formidable roster for the 2026 campaign. The support role is still vacant but Delight is likely going to stay with the team.
KT have seemingly finalized their roster for the 2026 season. With deokdam and Peter leaving, the new bot lane will be formed by Aiming and the support duo of former DK world champion Ghost, who roleswapped to support, and Pollu. It’s unclear at the moment who will be the starting player.

Aside from Sponge who moved from DRX, NS will bring in Taeyoon and Scout from the LPL back into the LCK. The ADC player had a pretty strong season on WE and often showcased his mechanical skills so he can be considered an upgrade over Jiwoo. For Scout, there will be the uncertainty of his level following the disastrous season on JDG.
That being said, Nongshim has put together an extremely interesting roster that could potentially fight for top spots in the league next year if all the players perform to their peak potential. With head coach DanDy joining from HLE, this could be the underdog roster of the 2026 season.
As one of the bottom tier teams in the LCK, OK BRION is revamping its entire roster after giving out most of their players. Top laner Morgan will be joining Team Liquid in the LCS while support Pollu has moved over to KT Rolster. ADC player Hype will be flying to Europe to compete in the TCL with Misa Esports. According to the latest rumors, BRION is set to bring in Fisher from NS and Casting from KT Rolster Academy.
T1 is bringing in Peyz after Gumayusi decided to leave the organization. The former JDG player will be contracted until 2028 and with Doran re-signing for another year, T1’s roster for the coming season is completed.
