LEC Summer 2025

LEC Summer Split 2025 is the third regional split for the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) of the 2025 season. The event is held prior to the LoL World Championship.

LEC Summer 2025 Format & Teams

The LEC Summer Split will consist of a regular season followed by a playoff stage.

In the first phase, the 10 participating teams will be split into two groups of five, playing a single round robin within each group. Each match will consist of a Bo3 series, featuring Fearless Draft.

The top four teams of each group will then advance in a double-elimination playoff bracket. The top two of each group will be placed in the upper bracket, while the third and fourth places will have to go through a Cross Play Decider to see which two teams will place in the lower bracket.

Cross Play Decider will have Bo3 matches, and the remaining series will be Bo5. The top three teams in the LEC Summer Playoffs will then qualify for the 2025 League of Legends World Championship.
