With only a few days remaining before the conclusion of the League of Legends Worlds 2024 finals, Riot Games has shed light on the location of the 2025 LoL World Championship.
The host country for LoL Worlds 2025 was revealed in a recent announcement made by Riot Games, which discussed the sponsorship extension between them and OPPO, a smartphone manufacturer based in China.
“For the past five years, OPPO has been there for some of the biggest moments in LoL Esports history,” the announcement reads. “In sharing the news of their continued global partnership with LoL Esports as part of the OPPO Find X8 series launch event in Chengdu, OPPO was alongside Riot Games for another major milestone, revealing China as the home of Worlds 2025.”
This will mark the third time China hosts the League of Legends World Championship, following previous tournaments in 2017 and 2020, which took place in Beijing and Shanghai respectively.
The host cities for LoL Worlds 2025 have not been announced at the time of writing.
The LoL devs have stated that they will disclose further details on the Worlds 2025 tournament on the Worlds 2024 Media Day, which will take place ahead of the grand finals on November 2nd at the O2 Arena in London.
