Buckle up, because the LEC is leaving Berlin and taking the action straight to the fans. The tier-one League of Legends tournament in EMEA is hitting the road this Spring, stepping out of its Berlin home and making pit stops in Spain and France.
After teasing it last year, Riot Games has officially announced the LEC Roadtrip, a new initiative that will bring League matches directly to fans across EMEA. This initiative aims to expand the reach of the LEC beyond its usual 200-seat Berlin venue, allowing fans to experience the LEC closer to home—something many have been requesting for a long time.
For those who are thinking of what will happen to the Summer Roadshow, Riot also confirmed that while the new LEC Roadtrip is an exciting new addition to the league’s calendar, it will not replace the traditional LEC Roadshow, which will take place at the conclusion of the Summer Split.
The first stop of the Roadtrip will take place in Madrid on April 26 and 27, where Movistar KOI will welcome the LEC to the Madrid Arena for two days. The hometeam will face off against Fnatic, while G2 Esports will take on GIANTX—who also have a big Spanish fanbase. The matches will switch the following day, Sunday, with the lineup of G2 facing Fnatic, while Movistar KOI will go up against GIANTX.
According to Riot, Movistar KOI has also promised additional festivities, with more details to be revealed closer to the dates.
Just two weeks later, the Roadtrip will head to Évry, just outside Paris, where Karmine Corp will host another weekend of action-packed games at Les Arènes on May 10 and 11.
Saturday’s matches will see G2 take on SK Gaming, while KC will battle against their longstanding French rivals, Team Vitality. The following day, Vitality will face SK before KC steps up against G2 in a match expected to draw major numbers on-site and online. And just like Movistar KOI, KC has additional surprises in store, with further details to be revealed in the coming weeks.
All LEC Roadtrip matches will be broadcast on regular LEC channels and co-stream partner platforms. But onto the information fans might want the most: ticket pricing.
Movistar KOI and Karmine Corp will manage ticket pricing and availability, respectively, with updates to be shared through their social media channels. And for all the other Spring Split matches scheduled for the same gameweek as the LEC Roadshow, Riot confirmed that they’ll continue as usual at the Arena in Berlin.
The LEC Roadtrip is currently a “pilot initiative” for the 2025 season, and Riot will evaluate its success before determining whether to expand it in the future. For now, fans in Spain and France have a unique opportunity to experience the LEC like never before, with two weekends of high-energy matchups, home-team pride, and what promise to be unforgettable moments on the horizon.
